Wormley Free Church in Broxbourne is embarking on a significant church redevelopment project.

As a church, Wormley is committed to serving its local community with projects that meet local needs and provide opportunities to hear about Jesus and God’s love for us.

For some time the church has been running a foodbank, toddlers group, drop-in sessions, Alpha courses and Conversation Café, but increasingly these and other activities are becoming constrained due to lack of space and limited accessibility for those with restricted mobility.

In addition, the current appearance of the church building looks closed and unwelcoming

The plan is to redevelop the church to address these issues, and allow a more workable space to increase provision and enable more people to benefit. The redevelopment also creates an opportunity to freshen up the internal and external appearance, and improve its efficiency through installing new windows and solar panels.

The existing layout of Wormley is illustrated below, followed by the proposed new layout, which will greatly enhance the church's potential.

Wormley have received planning permission for the development plans, and they are currently undergoing a tender process to identify a preferred contractor for when the work starts in 2026. So far the church has managed to raise £54k from the congregation’s giving and The Connexion has also generously pledged additional funds to contribute to the costs. To raise the remainder, Wormley is approaching a number of grant making bodies and continuing to raise money internally.
