St Mary's Twickenham

St Mary's is a welcoming and inclusive church where we hope people coming for the first time will feel at home. We welcome people of all ages to any of our services. St Mary's has signed up to 'Inclusive Church'.

St Mary's is a church which seeks to:

* Use our buildings more effectively to help make God more real for the people of this area.

* Nurture our relationships with God and with each other.

* Nurture our children and young people with a positive sense of God

Our Services and events that are organised by St Mary's are shown on this website. We are delighted that many outside organisations use our church and hall to serve the wider community - details of other events hosted at St Mary's can be found  on our own website: https://www.stmarytwick.org.uk
