We're a vibrant church made up of people of all ages and all walks of life. For some of us, life is going really well, for others every day is a struggle. Some of us have discovered God recently, some of us have been Christians for many years. Some of us have lived in the area all our lives, some of us have moved here recently. What binds us together is God’s love for each one of us.
We'd love to welcome you to any of our events and activities, or at a Sunday service. We know that going to church for the first time can feel strange, so we'll do everything we can to make you feel welcome and at ease. Whatever's going on in your life, just come as you are, and see what difference God can make.
For everything you need to know about St Mary's, please visit our website.
