West Kirby URC

Originally named 'West Kirby Presbyterian Church of England', the work of West Kirby URC began in 1882 with a desire to see the Good News about Jesus preached and heard in the up and coming township of West Kirby. What followed was a time of prayerful and enthusiastic growth, rooted in the faith of a relatively small group who were determined to let people hear about how Jesus' death had enabled everyone to be in relationship with God.

After an initial period of rapid expansion (resulting in three extensions to the building in just over eight years!), members of the church supported six church plants, including at Heswall, as well as a Temperance Mission and the foundation of a children's convalescent home. At the same time, there was considerable interest in supporting overseas mission work and a desire to see missionaries sent out from the Church. This was accomplished in the coming years and West Kirby URC continues to support national and international missionary links today. You can read about the history of West Kirby URC in booklets available to download.

Spring 2016 marked the start of significant development in the life of West Kirby United Reformed Church. Improvements to the building, both inside and out, have been undertaken to enable it to better reflect our vision of a growing, welcoming, and relevant church with good access and facilities to serve the community.
