Welcome to St Mark’s Church

Colney Heath: a community lying between the two busy Hertfordshire towns of St Albans and Hatfield, yet still with its own distinct village identity.

St Marks: a ‘C of E’ church, primarily called to serve Colney Heath parish (which includes Smallford, Sleapshyde and Tyttenhanger Green), and to be an integral part of the community.

Makes you think…

“Christianity is a statement which, if false, is of no importance, and, if true, is of infinite importance.

The one thing it cannot be is moderately important”

– C S Lewis (of ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ fame)

“Christianity is not one of the world religions: it is the end of religion”

– Lesslie Newbigin

Welcome!

Uniquely, the Christian faith is about God coming looking for us, rather than us searching for God. Being found by Him makes us not more religious, but more truly human. We aim to be a church where all can ‘be themselves’ in the presence of God and one another.

What we share together as ‘Gathered Church’ increases the effectiveness of each of us as ‘Scattered Church’ (and scatter many of us do, as we’re surrounded by major road networks, railway links and are within a few miles of London!)

So we’re glad to welcome those who live farther afield too, who want to connect with God – at whatever stage on that journey you might be.
