Wheatley URC is one of four churches in the Wheatley/Holton area. Wheatley itself has three churches: St. Mary’s (C of E), Our Lady of Lourdes (Roman Catholic) and the URC and nearby Holton has St. Bartholomew’s (C of E.).  All four churches formed “Wheatley Area Churches” (WAC), which has been evolving over the last 20 years, as we have grown closer. Our aim is to do as much as possible together in joint witness to the local community.  For many years we have worshipped together monthly on a Sunday evening. This year we have decided to invite speakers or preachers of interest to all the churches to talk to a joint meeting held quarterly.
