Welcome to Northgate United Reformed Church

Northgate United Reformed Church is a Grade 2 listed building, constructed of locally quarried sandstone from nearby Houghton Bank.

Of Gothic style, with a spire 36 metres tall, it is a local landmark.

In 1975 it was this building which became “The Northgate United Reformed Church” following the union of Congregational and Presbyterian Churches in 1972.

A major church refurbishment project was carried out at Northgate URC, over 10 weeks in 2017. Further essential repair work and a major redevelopment of the downstairs hall area was completed in 2023.

The church is in regular use for worship. The various spaces in the building are actively used for business meetings, training, concerts, craft group activities, musical groups, martial arts classes etc.
