We are a city centre church in the heart of St Albans

Our Calling is to respond to the gospel of God’s love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission.
We are called to let our whole way of life respond to God’s call, letting life grow in each one of us every day. Nurturing life in the Church, bringing life to the World.

This is the Methodist Way. The Methodist Church claims and cherishes its place in the wider Christian Church. For general information about our beliefs, emphases and practices, please click here.

Our church community is committed to being a good neighbour to people in need, to challenge injustice and to be friends with people of other cultures and faiths - read our mission statement here.
