Who we are
A Christian is simply one who follows Jesus of Nazareth, trying to put his teaching into practice.
We believe that he died and was raised to life again, and that through his death he has opened the way for us to eternal life when we die. Not only that, but in this life we can start to know God and with his help become more like him in partnership with his people.
As Saffron Walden Community Church, we describe ourselves like this:
We are an independent evangelical church, members locally of Churches Together in Saffron Walden, and nationally of the Evangelical Alliance.
As Christians our faith is centred on the person of our Lord Jesus Christ; God incarnate who lived amongst us identifying himself with us, who died for our sins to bring us back to God and rose from the dead to give us new life.
As evangelicals we believe in the divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God — fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
Within this, our own particular emphasis is on church as community:- That means both serving one another in the church and serving the community of Saffron Walden and further afield by showing the love of Christ in action.

Saffron Walden Community Church History
The Church’s History
The story of Saffron Walden Community Church is very short! The congregation of Gold Street Chapel had been looking for larger and more appropriate premises for quite a few years when the Methodist chapel in Castle Street became available. As a result of dwindling numbers, the Methodist congregation had decided to merge with the United Reformed Church in Abbey Lane, selling their own building which had been the home of the Methodist church in Saffron Walden since the 19th century. This was a God-send for us, as it offered more room for a range of activities which was beginning to stretch what we could accommodate at Gold Street.
As we move to new premises, we are also seeking new direction from God as to how he would have us work out his kingdom in Saffron Walden.
The Chapel’s History
The story of Gold Street Chapel, however, extends over more than 140 years! In its centenary year of 1970, one of our outstanding members, Ray Mitson, compiled a history of the chapel from its beginnings in 1870.
Below is an excerpt from this history. It uses many quaint and antiquated terms, but is an interesting dip into Gold Street Chapel’s history.
