About St Mary's

To create an Engaging Church. God’s church is for all His children. Everybody will receive a warm welcome to any service or event.

Engaging with the Community

We aim to be more welcoming and engaging to the local community. We are actively investigating how to transform our church building, and make the local community more welcoming to newcomers in the area.

Engaging with God

We aim to develop our prayer and spirituality, so our relationship with God is not confined to Sunday mornings!

Engaging with Each Other

We aim to make everybody welcome in church. From engaging more with children and young families, to those who are new. We aim to improve communication through this site and our noticeboards.

It costs nearly £1000 a week to run St Mary’s! We receive no funding from the Government or the main Church of England. All repairs and mission is paid for by the congregation and supporters.
The oldest part of St Mary’s is nearly 1000 years old. Help us to keep the church going for another 1000 years! Join us on a Sunday, or if you are far away, get in touch or make a donation.
We have to look after our 9 acre churchyard ourselves with no funding? Join us on the 1st Saturday of the month for Churchyard Cleanup (aka Green Gym!)
JAM (Jesus And Me) club for children is in the Parish Centre at 10.30am on the 1st and 3rd Sundays. Come and join us!
Our vision? To create an Engaging Church. God’s church is for all His children. Everybody will receive a warm welcome to any service or event.
