About Us

St Mary is a community which aims to be rooted in faith, open in thought and which reaches out in service.

Our mission is to bear witness to the great commandment to love God with all our hearts and minds, and to love our neighbours as ourselves.

We will do this by

- worshipping and proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ

- supporting all in their journey of faith through teaching, discussion and study of God’s Word

- engaging openly and without prejudice to promote social justice in our community and the world

- caring for the whole of God’s creation

St Mary’s interprets its aim in the light of the London Diocese Capital Vision 2020 to be confident, compassionate and creative.

St Mary's are proud to be members of Inclusive Church, and seek to put into practice the words of the Inclusive Church Statement:

"We believe in inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.

We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.

We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.”
