Who are we?

Gold Street Chapel is an independent Christian congregation located in the heart of Saffron Walden. We are members locally of Churches Together in Saffron Walden, and nationally of the Evangelical Alliance. We are also members of Partnership, a charitable organisation providing support to independent local churches.

Our aim is to make Jesus central to our lives and our relationships, and to provide an open and welcoming community within which anyone can explore what it means to be a Christian in today's world.

Sunday services

On Sundays we meet for services at 10.30 in the morning and 6.30 in the evening.
We currently hold our morning services in the local secondary school, which allows us more room than the chapel can provide. Meanwhile we are refurbishing our chapel to form a more flexible space for a range of activities. Children and young people form a large proportion of those present on Sunday mornings, but we span all ages and a wide variety of backgrounds.

Our evening services remain at the chapel in Gold Street, as do many of our weekday meetings. Click here for a map showing these locations. You can view a list of services for the coming month by selecting the Activities option in the menu to the left.

Coming soon

This year Saffron Walden's 42nd Vacation Bible School will run from 2nd - 6th August. Hundreds of children and adult helpers will occupy a tent "village" on the playing fields behind the town's main secondary school, as John Hardwick leads a week of Bible-based activities provided by the churches of Saffron Walden.
