St Mary's is the historic Parish Church of Kidderminster. It is the beautiful place where our church members and visitors gather every Sunday to offer praise and prayers to God, and to be refreshed and equipped to live out our Christian life in the week ahead. Because of its place in the history of Kidderminster we are often the location for civic services for the whole town - most notably on Remembrance Sunday each year. We welcome anyone who wants to join us for worship or our other activities, or to step into the beauty of the building - a place where God's presence can bring calm and stillness in the hectic rush of life.
Our Sunday worship is traditional with a robed choir and hymns accompanied by the organ. Families and children are welcome .
The church is a historic building. From April to the end of September we welcome visitors on Tuesdays and Thursdays (from 11 am to 3 pm) who come to explore this building where prayer has been offered for centuries. Check our "Open Church" item on the next page to check dates.
We exist to honour God and proclaim the Gospel, to nourish followers of Jesus Christ and to serve the community. We share in a Local Ecumenical Partnership with Trinity Methodist Church (our close neighbour), and we support the Foodbank run by the local churches.
Our parish of Kidderminster Ismere is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO).
