Today we will be looking at inspiring story of an ordinary person who has done something
extraordinary!

Brother Andrew smuggled bibles to secret Christians in eastern european communist countries where they had to keep their faith secret in the face of intense persecution. He went on to start a charity which supports persecuted Christians in over 70 countries around the world.

Come and join us as we recreate some of the secret ways he used to hide bibles and find out how ordinary people can do impossible things and go on amazing adventures with God by their side.

St Mary's

Welcome to St Mary's, Gilston!

Our original church building was a small aisle-less church, built around 1135, which was entirely rebuilt and enlarged in the second half of the 13th century, with the upper part of the tower seen to have been reconstructed in the late 16th century, when the south brick stair-turret was added. 

As part of the Benefice of High Wych and Gilston with Eastwick, we have a variety of services and events at all three of our buildings, and within our communities, so check out our 'Services' and Events' page to find out what on next at St Mary's.

We're looking to see you there!
