The Parish Church of St Mary's is located in the town centre of Dover and has been witness to the Christian faith for over 900 years. St Mary's is one of the Dover Town group of churches, a church community in the Deanery of Dover and the Diocese of Canterbury in the Church of England.

Our Mission is 'to encourage and nurture growth in the Christian faith and to seek to live and share the good news of Jesus Christ.'
