St Thomas’ serves both as a church and as a community centre. Depending on the circumstances, the sanctuary can be partitioned off, allowing the space to be used for other activities; from fitness classes, to music rehearsals or meetings.
The building was dedicated by the Bishop of St Albans in June 1988, but it traces its origins to the beginning of the previous decade when a Christian presence was established at Enfield Close to serve the communities of Houghton Hamlets, Parkside, and Brookfield. St Thomas' can accommodate up to 60 people. It also includes a spacious kitchen, facilities, central heating, and 12 parking spaces. Long-term hiring is available. |
