Community

Worship with us

Everyone is welcome to worship at St Albans Cathedral. In addition to its status as a Cathedral, St Albans is also a thriving parish church - home to a regular congregation of over 600 people. Whether you are a regular worshipper, new to faith, or even if you aren't sure what you believe, our services are open to all. You can find out more on our Regular Services page or by contacting us directly.

Cathedral Groups

There are a number of groups at the Cathedral which meet throughout the year, offering opportunities to socialise and worship together, as well as making important contributions to the day to day life of the Cathedral. A list of the groups, and their roles within Cathedral life, is available here.

House Groups

House groups allow members of the congregation to study part of the Bible or related literature in a relaxed and informal setting. The groups study as they wish and are supported by the Cathedral Clergy. They meet throughout the year in the informal setting of individuals’ homes and each group has anything between four to 12 members. Some groups meet in the mornings, others in the evening; weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

Currently, there are nine regular House Groups and always room for more. 

To enquire about House Groups click here.

If you are interested in joining a Cathedral Group, or you can't find what you are looking for, please contact Rev'd Will Gibbs, Canon for Mission and Pastoral Care.

Congregational Giving

Members of the Cathedral community donate generously to the mission of the Cathedral and, each year, many charities, both local and national, benefit from the money collected. An enormous number of members also volunteer for a wide range of local charitable work and can be found throughout St Albans helping in foodbanks and homeless centres. If you would like to find out more about giving, click here.
