I love the warm friendly welcome at St Mary's.
We’re a church family of all ages who want to savour God’s story in the Bible, shine in our villages by living Jesus’ way, and share God’s life-giving story with our friends.
All sorts of different people call St Mary’s their home and you’re sure to be welcomed. So do come and say hello!
