This revised form of the Covenant was authorised by the Church on December 15th, 1949, to take the place of revised form dated January 27th, 1938, and is to be interpreted and understood in the terms of the full Covenant, drawn up by the Church, then meeting in Hosier's Lane in 1779. An amendment to paragraph 3 was authorised by the Church on October 23rd, 1979.

The shortest move of all took place in 1979 when we moved over the Holy Brook into our current premises in Abbey Square, on the site of the Bakery, Mill House and Stables of Reading Abbey. 2019 marks 40 years in the current building. Our desire and purpose is to continue to share the love that God has shown for us in Jesus with each other and with the people in the community around us.
