St Mary's Church, Blackpool

Welcome to St Mary's Church, Blackpool! 

Since its humble beginnings in a loft of a stable in 1918, our church has been reaching out in love to our Blackpool community with the good news that Jesus came down to earth from heaven, was born as a human baby, lived among us and died on the cross. But that was not the end because he rose again! After all these years, we continue to serve a risen Christ. 

Why not come along to one of our Sunday services and find out more about this Jesus? Bring the family and stick around after the service for a cuppa!

Our Sunday morning service begins at 10.00am. It includes prayers, readings, 4-5 hymns and taking Holy Communion. Gluten-free wafers for Communion are available upon request. If you don't wish to take Communion, you can have a prayer of blessing instead.

Children are welcome among us, as they were to Jesus, so, we have a child friendly area at the back of the church with toys and a collection of books available for all families to use during the service. A toilet is also available in the front entrance – our sides people can direct you.

We take a collection during a hymn, and while you are welcome to contribute, please feel under no obligation to do so. Simply pass the collection plate along.

Most of our services last just over an hour. They finish with a song and a blessing. After this service, you’re very welcome to stay for a chat over a cup of tea or coffee in the church hall next door (out of the main entrance, turn left around the side of the church).

If there is anything that you want to talk about or want to have prayer for, you are welcome to have a chat with whoever led the service on the day of your visit, or to contact our vicar who will be pleased to help.
