A warm welcome to St Mary’s Parish Church
At St Mary’s we have three flavours of Sunday church service to offer you; ‘Traditional’ ‘Contemporary’ ‘Exploring’
Notice sheet click here.
Our Traditional services include our robed choir and traditional hymns. The Contemporary services are modern and informal, with guitars and a worship band. At the Exploring services we meet with God in a variety of inventive ways.
Family life is important at St Mary’s. There are activities for children on Sunday mornings and we hold family events during the year.
As a whole church we are Bible-based, with a heart for mission and evangelism, supporting initiatives locally, nationally and internationally. We lead an active and vibrant spiritual life, where we acknowledge Jesus as our Lord and Saviour and seek to follow him day by day through the power of his Holy Spirit.
Although our main worship services are on Sunday, many other activities take place throughout the week. Our home groups are at the heart of church life, meeting in different homes for fellowship, Bible study and prayer.
For those enquiring about the Christian faith or wanting to deepen their understanding, Alpha, Start and Discipleship courses are held regularly.
For those who like a quiet, contemplative service during the week, we hold a communion service in the Old Church near the sea-front on Wednesday mornings at 11am.
We hope you will find something that helps you along the road on your own faith-journey.
