About us
Urban Life is a community that seeks to love God, and to love, serve and bless our city.
We are ordinary people who are centred on Jesus Christ and his teachings. He has given us new life, as through his death and resurrection he forgives, renews and equips us to live as his people, in his world. All people are made in God's image and God is in the business of restoring the broken image in us, through the work of Jesus Christ in our lives.
We meet together in our houses or other local community venues at various times and places through the week.
Contact us to find out more, to meet with us, to request prayer, or a copy of the bible.

What we believe
WE BELIEVE IN...
Urban Life is a non-denominational church and is a member of the Evangelical Alliance.
We are a part of the Radstock Network.
- The one true God who lives eternally in three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
- The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.
- The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
- The dignity of all people, made male and female in God's image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.
- The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ—born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.
- The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.
- The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.
- The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
- The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.
- The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers—given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.
- The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.
