About Us

Our church has long been a place of hospitality as one the city’s ancient gateway churches and people have worshipped here for over a thousand years.

Today we continue to offer a welcome to many from across the city and surrounding area, whether drawn by the quality of our music and choral tradition, our provision for children and young families, our offering of diverse opportunities for worship, prayer and learning, the strong sense of community we seek to foster - or for many other reasons. Our vision is “everyone is included, loving and generous service is celebrated, faith is nurtured and developed, and everyone is inspired to reach their God-given potential”. If you would like to join us for any of our services or midweek activities, we hope you will feel at home, make new friends, and most important of all, be enabled to grow in friendship with God.

We are part of the Church of England, in the Diocese of St Albans, and we have a special relationship with Marlborough Road Methodist Church, with whom we celebrate key services during the year.
