Norwich Area United Reformed Church
The Norwich Area United Reformed Church (NAURC) is a group of 6 URC churches in the Norwich area served by 2 ministers: Revd John Potter and Revd Bruno Boldrini.
Representatives from all of the churches meet together regularly to share news and plan joint activities and there are occasional joint services. Another group of representatives meets to plan the preaching rota for all 6 churches for the coming months.
The Revd. John Potter is minister to Ipswich Road URC, Princes Street URC and Fairland URC in Wymondham.
The Revd. Bruno Boldrini is minister to St Peter’s Jessopp Road (URC/Methodist), Trinity URC and Wroxham and Hoveton URC (The Hub).
Some of the NAURC churches are now open for services on Sunday mornings (with restrictions), but we also continue to provide online services, both in video and audio forms and share a recording on Zoom.

“We are an open church which welcomes people of all ages and needs. We have a congregational approach to our ministry and mission and, though many of us are “getting on” in age, we have a vision to be a growing, caring and mission-led church.
