Welcome to LGBT+ People

In the first century, Jesus inspired a movement: a community of people whose lives were centred on Jesus Christ and committed to living the way of God’s unconditional, unselfish, sacrificial, and redemptive love. As a parish church of the Church of England, we believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death and resurrection saved the world.

We are therefore committed to creating a culture of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being. The mission and ministry of God at St Martin's is open to all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression. Those who would value prayer following civil marriage or civil partnership in our ancient church are warmly invited to get in touch.

We believe that God loves us all – no exceptions.
