About Harpenden URC

Harpenden United Reformed Church is a welcoming, family friendly fellowship that offers a non-conformist and reformed church ethos in Harpenden town centre. We are celebrating our 200 year anniversary this year on the 15th of May 2022. 

Harpenden United Reformed Church holds a Sunday service every week at 10.30am with a congregation of 20 to 30 people attending. Currently we are in Vacancy and looking for a new Minister. We have Sharon Sookrah and the Worship team, along with visiting preachers and members of the congregation taking turns leading and participating in the service. Our worship style is both traditional and modern, with A\V system allowing more flexibility and creativity. We are fortunate to also have a small choir directed by an excellent organist. 

Throughout the year we host special events suitable for the whole family including pet services, a Harvest festival, Nativity service and a carol concert. In addition to this we hold a monthly Holy Communion and evening services which can be reflective, creative or participatory, as planned by a worship group. 

Opportunities for spiritual development and growth as well as social events are regularly organised for the church fellowship and in conjunction with our URC Heartland group partner churches in St Albans, WGC, Luton and Dunstable. You can find the Heartland calendar here.

We play a part in the Local Churches Together, we are a Fair Trade church and we support various mission and outreach activities and charities (YWAM, Commitment for Life, the local food bank, Keech Hospice Care, Send a Cow). 

'In response to God's call, we pray that, through worship and fellowship with us, everyone will learn more about Jesus and so come to know more of God's love.'
