What to Expect

At St Mary's everybody who comes through the door can expect a warm welcome, even though we are not meeting in the church. The neighbourhood centre is our temporary home and we have a good, warm room to meet in and there’s always coffee and space to meet people after the service.

You will find a group of people of different ages and from different backgrounds brought together by a desire to grow in faith, no matter where they are on that journey, everyone is welcome!!

We start at about 10am and end at about 11:15. We'll sing worship songs and pray together. We will hear Bible readings and a talk about those readings.

We would love you to join us sometime!

What we Believe

For us, it’s all about Jesus…

Jesus shows us what God is like, he came on a rescue mission from the heart of God to save us and to show us what life in all fullness looks like. He demonstrates God’s great love for all of us and invites us to come, just as we are and discover what it means to be forgiven, set free from the past and given hope for the future.
