Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs
St John's Church, Watford lies in the heart of this Hertfordshire market town. We are a Forward in Faith parish, and a member of the Church of England, in the pastoral and sacramental care of the Bishop of Richborough. We hope you enjoy your virtual visit to St John's where you will find details of our weekly services and annual service of Carols by Candlelight, parish news, an online tour, and an archive of historical pictures of St John's Church, one of the most beautiful churches in Watford.
We are now in an interregnum, and the appointment of a new priest is currently being discussed with the Diocese. The day to day care of the church lies in the hands of our Churchwardens.
The Church of St John the Apostle and Evangelist, Watford, dates back to 1873, when a temporary building was erected in Sotheron (now Sutton) Road. The church as it is seen today was built in 1893, and boasts some wonderful furnishings, including a rood screen by the renowned architect and designer Sir John Ninian Comper, the wonderful 1911 Walker organ which is still used today, and the beautifully carved Stations of the Cross. Worship in the church continues to this day, within a traditional anglo-catholic ethos.
Please do come along to share in our worship at St John's Church, Watford - you will be warmly welcomed.
