Welcome to St Mary and St Botolph Whitton, we are a church with a family feel worshipping in a relaxed but traditional way. Whilst geographically 'on the edge' of the parish serving our parish is at the centre of what we aim to do.
We an 'Inclusive Church' – a church which seeks to celebrates and affirm every person and not discriminate.
We will seek 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.”
