The Congregational family of churches carries a long and particular story within the wider Church. Congregational churches descend from the English Independents and Dissenters of the seventeenth century, holding that each local church is complete in itself under Christ. Those that stayed outside the 1972 union that formed the United Reformed Church continue in bodies such as the Congregational Federation and the Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches. A few hundred chapels remain across the UK. The tradition traces its modern form to the 17th century.
The church stands within the wider Christian life of England, where the parish system has shaped local life for more than a thousand years. Norwich is the county town of Norfolk and a focal point for church life in the area. Visitors are welcome, whether you live in Norwich or are simply passing through.
