Grindon

Grindon URC is situated in Galway Road, just off the A183 on the southwest side of Sunderland. It is part of a large housing estate built in the 1950’s and seeks to engage with the community in a variety of ways.

  Grindon URC became a Mission Project of the Northern Synod of the United Reformed Church in 2014.   Working together, we have seen a number of projects established in recent years including: craft courses, the formation of a Beavers and Cubs group, a monthly Youth outreach in association with Youth For Christ, children’s holiday clubs, a food chain supplying fresh fruit and vegetables at low cost to the community. Messy Church, an informal way of worship for families, is a monthly event at 3.30pm on the second Sunday of the month. Success of the project is directly associated with the project Management team and User Group.
