Leiston United Church (Methodist & URC)

“Shining God’s light in the heart of Leiston.”

Leiston United Church is a small congregation with a big heart for God and the local community. We are a local partnership of the United Reformed Church (part of the Eastern Synod of the URC) and the Methodist Church (part of the Ipswich Circuit). We reflect both traditions in the way we worship and the way we work as a local church. The church building is situated at the centre of Leiston, on the High Street. The building is used regularly for a range of community activities as well as for worship and church events. Please scroll down the page for more information.

Sunday Worship

We usually gather for worship on a Sunday morning at 10:30am, in the church or, in the colder seasons, in the hall. Following our time of worship we share refreshments.

About once every six weeks, instead of our morning service, we have afternoon worship which usually takes place at 2:00pm and is followed by tea and cake.

Please check the news page and shared newsletter for full details of activities and events including seasonal services.
