Welcome to Leavesden Road Baptist Church...

Unfortunately, Leavesden Road Baptist Church no longer holds worship services or carry out any other fellowship activities.

(LRBC) was founded in 1896 by members of Beechen Grove Baptist Church in the centre of Watford, to serve the rapidly developing area to the north of the town.

The town of Watford, and our area, has changed considerably over the years. So has the local community and its needs. The Church has saught to adapt its premises and the services offered to meet these needs. Unfortunately, the scale of change needed became too great for the Church to sustain. Consequently, on 14th September 2021, the Church Members agreed, reluctantly and with sadness, to close at the end of 2021. See Press Release.

A 'Completion Service' waqs held on 28th November, to celebrate the witness and work of the Church over the past 125 years.

The last worship service was held on Christmas morning.

The Minister continues to provide pastoral support, assisted by the pastoral team of Link Leaders. The Minister and Diaconate will be undertaking the necessary administrative, legal and practical activities until the formal closure of the Fellowship, which we anticipate will be in spring 2022.
