"A Christian Church, living out the love of God by reaching into the heart of the Community and responding to its needs"

Established in 1823, Providence United Reformed Church is situated in the town of New Mills on the edge of the High Peak of Derbyshire.

Our main service is held every Sunday morning at 10 30 am. Communion of the Lords Supper is celebrated at least once each month. 

Coffee is provided after each Service.

There are special services at times such as Mothering Sunday, during Easter week, at Church Anniversaries, Harvest, Remembrance Sunday and at Christmas.

Cafe Church is held about once a month. It is our informal style worship especially suitable for families and young children with fun, food, songs, stories, craft activities and friendship.

Alongside these services, Providence participates in occasional joint services with the Marple and Marple Bridge churches of the pastorate.

A Housegroup is held each Tuesday evening for prayer, reflection and fellowship in the home of a church member. A Prayer Group meets twice a month 8-9pm in a member's house.

Junior Church
