The CU is committed to the local church in Guildford and we strongly encourage all members to prioritise being involved with a Bible teaching church in the area. Being involved with the CU is not a replacement for joining a local church because church is the primary place for discipleship and growth as a Christian. So please do find a church you can get stuck into!
