Building Project Site: The Wellspring Church Centre - Watford Community Church

Watford Community Church is fully embracing a unique and exciting opportunity to effectively address town-centre deprivation and establish a purpose-built community hub in the heart of Watford.

In a climate of significant socio-economic challenge our plan is to create a centre of excellence facilitating community cohesion, quality vocational training and the effective operation of our work as an outward-looking church family.

Following an open bidding process, we have been awarded a piece of prime real estate by Watford Borough Council in order to construct a new Church Centre as an investment in the lives of thousands of local people because we are recognised as a community church in nature, not just in name.

As well as providing a long-awaited home for Watford Community Church, we are confident that The Wellspring Church Centre will bring flexible and sustainable benefits to the whole community, for example:

  • The facilities will enable us to provide adaptable activities and services for over 50s, parents, local people facing financial crises and others in the area in need of timely help and assistance
  • High quality weekly activity groups for children and families, teens and young adults
  • ITQ infrastructure and training for accessible skill development across the social spectrum
  • Various training and skills development classes including ESOL and Citizenship classes (in partnership with local agencies)
  • Parents Into Work Project (in partnership with our local Children’s Centre Charity) providing early intervention and proactive support to our area’s most deprived families
  • Auditorium and training rooms for use by other charities, businesses and community groups
  • Fair Trade Community Café open throughout the week
  • Assisting the elderly through a range of events and services promoting social cohesion across the generations
