Hi, are you new here?

No – we welcome people from all backgrounds. If you’re exploring, enquiring or just want to see what’s going on then you are very welcome. We also run Alpha which, if you’re interested, is a great way of finding out more about the Christian faith.

We believe that being a Christian is about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, not about being religious. Jesus Christ loves and welcomes everyone no matter what their background and we set out to do the same.

We know what it can be like going to a new place and not really knowing anybody. Our Welcome Team are always looking out for new people and you will be given a very warm welcome.

There are two services each Sunday morning:-

9am – A welcoming traditional service with hymns and songs as well as a short talk from the bible (typically 10 minutes). Each week we have Holy Communion as part of the service where we receive bread and wine as symbols to remind us of God’s incredible love and care for us, shown in the life and death of his son Jesus. All those who know and love Jesus are welcome to receive communion, otherwise feel free to watch, or to come forward for a blessing instead of the bread and wine (just keep your hands to your side).

At 10am, between the two services, we serve free breakfast with fresh coffee and pastries, a great time to meet new people.

10.30am – A more informal service with contemporary worship music led by the band. At this service we have wide provision for children and families. We start with some songs, after the first couple of songs the children go out to their groups. Then there is a talk from the bible (typically 20 minutes) followed by some more worship songs during which there is a chance for people to be prayed for. The service typically finishes between 11.45am and 12.00pm. On the first Sunday of the month we have an all age service when there are no children’s groups and we usually end by 11.30am. You can always check out our Calendar to see details of what’s happening on a Sunday.

We hope that everyone feels at ease at St Mary’s and will know the unconditional love of Jesus and not to feel judged. So whether you sing like an angel, sing loudly out of tune, dance around with your hands in the air or stand quietly at the back with your hands in your pockets you are very welcome at St Mary’s.

Whatever you like or feel comfortable in.

We have lots of families with Children at St Mary’s and we wish to be as welcoming as possible to Children.

Children join us at the beginning of the 10.30am Sunday service for worship and then go out to various groups. There are two children’s groups available for Aged 3 to Year 5 and also Youth for Years 6 to 9. We also have space for under 3s where you can take them if they become restless. More details here.

During the week our Café has a soft play facility and on Tuesday mornings, Little Moles, our babies and toddlers group meets.

Here at St Mary’s we are passionate about helping young people meet with God, have tons of fun and meet friends in a safe environment. We have groups meeting on Friday evenings, during the Sunday 10.30am service and Sunday evenings.
