We at St John's, Harpenden welcome you to A Church Near You. We are a lively, friendly, Anglican church set on the edge of the Common in the south of Harpenden.

Our ministry team and congregation form a community of people who come together regularly to worship, pray, study and pursue a wide range of church based and social activities.

We place particular emphasis on nurturing young people; our Junior Church divide into groups on the basis of age, with up to 50 children attending on a Sunday.

Our website has more information about us - see the page "We don't Bite" for practical information about our main Sunday service.
