Welcome to New Church Hemel
New Church Hemel is a vibrant community church based in Hemel Hempstead, dedicated to fostering spiritual growth and connection. Established by Pastor Vaughan Allen and his wife Marie, our journey began in their home before expanding to Galley Hill Primary School, where we now gather every Sunday. Our vision is to create a welcoming space where individuals of all ages can connect with God through anointed preaching, meaningful worship, and a commitment to biblical teachings. We prioritise hospitality, ensuring every visitor receives a warm welcome, while nurturing relationships within our church family through care, communication, and shared purpose. Our mission extends beyond our walls, aiming to reach out to the local community and beyond with the transformative message of Jesus Christ.We believe in growing together through pastoral support, developing spiritual gifts, and striving for excellence in all we do. Leadership at New Church Hemel is rooted in service, with a team dedicated to guiding our congregation with integrity and vision. Our values of teaching, worship, and communication form the foundation of our community, fostering an environment where faith can flourish. With a heartfelt prayer for divine visitation, we invite you to join us in experiencing a church that seeks to make a lasting impact on lives, our community, and the wider world.
