We are a friendly, welcoming Church which started life in 1970 meeting in Hoveton Village Hall as an offshoot from Trinity URC in Norwich. Our 50 members are of all ages, and come from a great variety of church backgrounds (or none at all), and we have many regular adherents. From the start we have had a strong Sunday School which sometimes leads our worship. We have good relations with the Anglicans, Catholics and Baptists, and sometimes share services or activities. As we have no buildings for meetings we engage with the community by using community facilities rather than it coming to ours. We have, however, just purchased a disused car garage on the Norwich Road, which we are fund raising to convert into a new worship and community centre.

Holy Communion is usually on the first Sunday of each month.
Every third Sunday of each month we have all-age worship in the Church Hall.

For example, on the last Sunday of August each year, we share in a Riverside Service at 4pm in the riverside park behind Roys long stay car park.
