Kings Road Church is a warm, growing, intergenerational church in the heart of leafy Berkhamsted. We are in a season of exciting growth, with over 100 people attending each week. We are a community shaped by three core values:
We create spaces where people encounter the tangible presence of God and experience His goodness in worship, community, and family life.
We relate to one another through our shared bond with the Father. We are committed to belonging, authenticity, and walking together across generations.
We join God in His mission, demonstrating His goodness and love in every context — our homes, schools, workplaces, and the wider community.
We are a church with young families, professionals, and people exploring faith. We long to see children, young people, and parents flourish in the presence of God and become confident disciples of Jesus.
