Union Chapel

Claire McCollum is in north London visiting Union Chapel, both a world-renowned music venue and a diverse worshipping community putting faith into action.

Claire meets minister Cathy Bird to discover the history of this inclusive Congregational church and how it aims to be a 'friend for all'.

Claire then rolls up her sleeves to help at the Margins Project, a charity based at the church, which supports disadvantaged people, including the homeless. Claire discovers from project leader Amanuel Woldesus that God is at the centre of his work.

Claire then joins the church’s gospel choir Union Chapel Voices at a rehearsal to see how they share the good news of the Gospel through song.

With music that speaks of God’s love, including special recordings from our recent Gospel celebration at Union Chapel.
