Welcome to Greyfriars Church, Reading. We are an Evangelical Anglican community committed to discipleship and evangelism. As a church our aim is to see Reading transformed by the love and power of Jesus. We believe that we need each other for friendship and encouragement as fellow Christians and so we come together as a church family. We believe that God listens and speaks to his people a we learn together, and encourage and support one another through our meeting together at church and in our weekly small groups.
