St Albans United Reformed Church

You're welcome here

A warm, inclusive church family across two sites — worship, community and friendship for every age, every Sunday and throughout the week.

Welcome

St Albans URC is a church that normally meets on two sites – Homewood and Greenwood. Services are held at 10.30am on Sundays at both Homewood and Greenwood – all are welcome.

We recently welcomed our new Minister Revd Naomi Young-Rodas and we look forward to all the new ideas and insights that she will bring to this congregation. She also has responsibility for Newland URC, which is also a church on two sites – Luton and Dunstable.

Our values are firmly rooted in Jesus' call to love God first and then love our neighbours as ourselves. Our hope is that all we do flows from this primary principle. Kindness and a friendly welcome are very important to us.

We seek to be authentic in our encounter with the living Lord. The Holy Spirit is our helper and guide and we try to be open to God's leading; this is a learning process. We hold a wide range of views and hope there is always room for people seeking after truth no matter what their starting point may be.

We are pleased to have been given a Bronze Award in the Eco Church scheme; we are now working for the Silver!

We are part of the Inclusive Church Network. We are a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.

We look forward to welcoming you.
