Inclusive Church

At St Mary’s, we are committed to being an Inclusive Church — welcoming people of all ages, backgrounds, identities, and life experiences.

We believe that the love of God in Jesus Christ is for everyone, without exception. We value and celebrate diversity, and we are working to ensure that all who come through our doors experience warmth, dignity, respect, and a sense of belonging.

We are aligned with the principles of the Inclusive Church network, which means we reject all forms of discrimination, particularly those based on:

• Disability 
• Learning disability 
• Mental health
• Economic power 
• Ethnicity 
• Neurodivergence
• Gender identity
• Gender Sexuality
