Welcome to Nailsea URC
Dear Friends
Dear Friends,
The Overwhelming Love of God
There are some things in life that are difficult to put into words: a beautiful sunset, the birth of a child, an unexpected act of kindness, the love we feel for someone very dear to us. We can describe them, but somehow our words never quite seem enough. The Bible suggests that God’s love is like that – only infinitely greater.
The apostle Paul prayed that Christians might grasp “how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ” and might “know this love that surpasses knowledge” (Ephesians 3 v 18–19). It is a wonderful contradiction: Paul wants us to know something that is beyond our knowing! Perhaps that is because we sometimes make God’s love too small. We imagine that God loves us when we are good, when our faith is strong, when we pray regularly or when life is going well. But when we fail, doubt, struggle or wander away, we wonder whether God might love us a little less. The extraordinary message of Christianity is that God’s love does not depend upon our performance.
Mission Projects
Sharing God's Love in a practical way has always been our aim, whether that be overseas or in our local community. We support overseas mission projects via Commitment for Life. We also support Caring at Christmas, Children's Hospice South West, St Peter's Hospice, Nailsea Food Bank and other local community projects by raising funds through special events and offerings.

Becoming a Member of Nailsea URC
What's it all about?
Church Membership is the way in which Christians who have made their home in the local church are encouraged to express their commitment to that congregation of God’s people.
Who are they?
Well Church Members are not Super-Christians, just ordinary people who meet regularly to try and make sure that the continued life and witness of the church is in line with how God wants it to be. You can still be effective within the life of the church without being a member, but only members have a vote at Church Meeting, and are therefore the people who, as a body, make decisions.
