Dorking United Reformed Church – Your local community church in the heart of the town.
We are a vibrant, community-rooted church located in the heart of Dorking, Surrey. We’re part of the Southern Synod of the United Reformed Church and belong to a pastorate that includes Banstead URC, Redhill URC, and Reigate Park URC.
Our minister is the Revd Siobhán Antoniou, who leads with warmth and a deep commitment to inclusive, faith-filled service.
🕊️ Mission
Our mission is simple: Living Jesus’ Love. The church strives to be a place of welcome, care, and somewhere your faith can grow—embracing the call to “love one another” through worship, outreach, and everyday kindness. It’s a space where people of all ages and backgrounds can find belonging, purpose, and hope.

🌱 Community Life
DURC is known for its inclusive activities, from all-age events and creative workshops to groups like Sow to Grow, The Narnia Group, and Messy Church which reflect the church’s commitment to nurturing faith through imagination, nature, and shared experience.
🏛️ The Building
The church itself is a Grade II listed building, dating back to 1834, with a temple-like façade and rich architectural heritage. It’s not just a place of worship—it’s a hub for community events, meetings, and celebrations, with flexible spaces available for hire.
