- Alhamdulilah as of 18th October 2022, Sopwell Community Trust (SCT) has successfully acquired the Christadelphian Church as a freehold purchase and are the new key holders!
A massive thank you for all your Duas, support, time, guidance and financial support to make this long-term objective become a reality.
What happens now?
We are Open!
Brothers and Sisters are welcome to come visit and pray at Masjid Ar Rahman.
The Masjid and Centre has allowed for residents, friends and families to finally be able to offer their daily prayers in congregation. The Masjid is easily accessible by all of the community due to its location. This allows members of the community especially youth, sisters and elders to access and benefit from SCT’s energising leisure, social and educational initiatives. We anticipate majority of the community will walk to site helping to reduce the traffic and congestion for residents having to travel out of the local area via private and public transport.

Over the last 10 years, SCT has been arranging regular Friday prayers, Eid festivals at Verulamium Park, Maktab classes, food bank, social and health awareness and football tournaments for the Community. These activities have been booked across community and leisure centres in St Albans.
The Trustees will organise and promote a programme of varied activities that will benefit the local community, including working in collaboration with agencies, voluntary sectors, local health and multi-faith groups to provide services based on the needs of the local community.
