Wellspring Church (Watford) an Assemblies of God evangelical church in Watford, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. The international church community, based at The Wellspring Church Centre (on land formerly occupied by the Benskins Brewery and then the Watford Springs leisure centre), has been in existence since 1991. It was formally called Watford Community Church.

The church's history extends back to 1951 with the establishment of Emmanuel Pentecostal Church (AoG) which had a site in the town centre, which was demolished when the Harlequin Shopping Centre was built, and then a chapel building on Sotheron Road.

Watford Community Church was formed when Alan and Eileen Vincent, who had developed a strong network of evangelical charismatic churches under the umbrella of 'West Herts Community Church' were asked to bring new life and leadership to the Emmanuel congregation.

From 1991-2010 the church was meeting on Sundays in the Watford Grammar School for Girls, and at the end of 2010 the church opened the doors of The Wellspring Church Centre, a purpose-built facility constructed in partnership with Watford Borough Council and other agencies with an emphasis on providing training and community facilities for local residents.

In 2014 the church changed it's name to Wellspring Church.

The church has been led by Tim and Helen Roberts since 1998.
