About

Osborne Square Church members doing street evangelism.

We are affiliated with the EFCC (Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches) and the FIEC (Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches).

Our minister Simon Wakeling believes the Bible’s teaching is well expressed in the great reformed confessions of faith, in particular the Westminster standards, the Savoy Declaration, and the Three Forms of Unity (the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession, and the Canons of Dort).

We believe the church has one mission: to make disciples of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28.19).
