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
We seek to reflect the hospitality of Christ in our worship, our welcome, and our community life — creating space for honest questions, deep faith, and shared service. This commitment is not just a statement, but a journey we walk together as we grow into the kind of church God calls us to be.
