WHERE WE ARE: HAVEN HOUSE - FACILITIES

Haven House is the name we have given to our church's home in the old British Gas offices in London Road, Hemel Hempstead that we have occupied since November 1998. To us the facilities are wonderful and how we came to be here is a story in itself!

Main Meeting Hall
Our main meeting hall seats 400 and is used for Sunday meetings, conferences and other special events.

The Ark
Created from a dreary two-roomed basement, The Ark is now a safe bright environment for the under 4's. The rainbow in the centre reminds us of God's promises, and that they are as relevant for the babes as for the adults.

The Back Block
The Back Block is a large area designed for primary school children. There is plenty to keep the children occupied with pool tables, air hockey, table football and table tennis. A small kitchen and newly furbished toilets makes the whole area self-sufficient.

Offices
The provision of a number of offices has fulfilled own our needs for elders' offices and administration. In addition we have been able to provide space for Chrisitans In Football, Fathers House Europe, and others.

Life As It Was

A story of how we came to be here

Hemel Hempstead Community Church (HHCC) has been deeply affected by the fresh move of the Holy Spirit that began in 1994. We are forever changed because of this renewal and are now part of 'Partners in Harvest' - a group of churches affiliated to TACF (Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship). These last few years have been particularly thrilling for us and we have seen a fire birthed in the church which has an ongoing consistency to it. However, one problem dogged us for years.

Since 1986 we had been without our own premises. Like many similar churches we hired either community centres or school halls for our meetings. Each week we had to transport equipment to and fro and this became something of a burden. Over the years we had attempted to get our own building but were always thwarted somewhere down the line. Eventually we gave up trying - twelve years is a long time to keep being disappointed.
