We are a lively Benefice of four parish churches serving the communities of Kings Langley, Apsley, Bennetts End and Leverstock Green.

People often ask where the name Langelei comes from! It is a medieval word meaning 'long meadow' which was chosen when the Benefice formed in 2009 to describe our location, roughly in a triangle between Hemel Hempstead, Watford and St Albans.

Each of the four churches has its own character, and we enjoy working together collaboratively where appropriate. What we share is the warm welcome that we offer to anyone who would like to join us in worship or at our other events and activities.

These pages give a flavour of church life but visiting in person is the best way to find out more about us. Why not come to a Sunday service, or give us a call? Whether you have been to church before or are coming for the first time, we look forward to meeting you!

The Benefice of Langelei takes the safeguarding of all our parishioners very seriously and make every attempt to ensure that the activities of our churches, the data we collect, process and transfer, and the involvement and exposure of our parishioners is done with this in mind.

In March a group of 25 from the Benefice and further afield made a memorable ten day pilgrimage to the Holy Land.  Click HERE to read all about it.

We are delighted to welcome the Revd Maxine Howarth and her family to the Benefice. Maxine was ordained Deacon by the Bishop of St Albans at St Albans Cathedral on Sunday 30th June 2019. Later that day she was welcomed to the Benefice at a service of Songs of Praise at Holy Trinity, Leverstock Green, where she will serve as Assistant Curate in training for 3 years. We hope that Maxine and her family settle happily in the area, and you will be seeing her around the Benefice in due course.
