St Mary's Watford

St Mary's Watford Welcome! We are a diverse Anglican community of all ages and from all over the world, inspired by Jesus and united by his love.

We are based right on the High Street in Watford. Welcome to St Mary’s church, a friendly Anglican community on Watford High Street. We are located in the heart of Watford, where the church has been the spiritual centre of the town for 800 years. Today it is home to a vibrant group of ordinary people who are discovering that Jesus Christ is relevant to the lives of adults and children in the 21st

century. Our vision is to be a growing church in the heart of Watford that:

– shares the Christian message of God’s love and our salvation through Jesus Christ with the people of Watford and beyond;

– models the love, forgiveness and reconciliation that is exemplified through Jesus’ death on the cross;

– is welcoming to everyone, regardless of their status, wealth, gender, race, sexuality or religion

– provides a focus for public Christian worship.

Racial justice starts with listening.

We’re launching a new Racial Justice baseline survey across the Diocese to help us understand where we are – and how we can grow more diverse, welcoming and representative together.

If you’re part of church life in any way in the Diocese, we’d really value your voice.
