St Nicholas, Harpenden

St Nicholas Church is at the heart of the town...in every sense.  Shaped by the love and call of Jesus Christ, we seek to give a warm and inclusive welcome to all, to encourage rooted belonging in a living tradition, to grow a lively and curious Christian faith and to offer hopeful and compassionate service.

All are welcome to all our services, where we hope you will find a spiritual home and discover the peace, joy and strength that come from knowing God.
