The 2025 meeting of the United Reformed Church Extraordinary General Assembly is taking place from 14-16 November at Kents Hill Park Training and Conference Centre in Milton Keynes.
The General Assembly meets annually to celebrate, discuss, worship and make decisions about the life and work of the URC. It is the URC’s central decision-making body.
The Extraordinary General Assembly is meeting to discuss proposals arising from the Church Life Review, a strategic exploration into the life, structures, resources and work of the URC to enable a faithful response to the challenges.
The proposals are designed to relieve the administrative burden on churches, strengthen compliance, release capacity for mission and support growth.
Items on the agenda include proposals to establish a Church Life Fund, a denominational shared resources hub, accounting support service, denominational group buying service, HR, IT, payroll and property services, and lay worker employment and grants, new communities of discipleship and worship, and the closure of the Church Life Review and next steps.
A round-up of all the business discussed and decisions made will be available on the news pages of the URC’s website and in the next Issue 8 of Reform magazine. A summary will be included in News Update, the denomination’s monthly e-newsletter.
