About Us
To be a growing church making a growing differenceOur Vision & Mission
Our vision and mission is to help connect people to faith
Life offers us a varied mixed bag of experiences which often become the basis of how we look at ourselves and the world in which we live. We at St Mary’s want to help people frame that search for meaning and understanding – and even desire for purpose, in the context of faith in a God who loves us and wants to helps us become the people were are meant to be. We dont have all the answers but what we do have is a fellowship of support that encourages people to search and discover in faith.
Our People
We are a well-established Church of England congregation, that has been worshipping in our current building for over 250 years. Our average weekly congregations (we have three) number around 100 people and our ages range from 0 to nearly 100! Our vision is to be ‘a growing church making a growing difference’and we seek to do this through our work in local schools and care homes, running an exploratory course on the Christian faith (called Alpha) on a regular basis, having a monthly community lunch, plus providing baptisms (or christenings), weddings and funerals for those in our locality.
