Great St Mary's is set inmidst the colleges, market, council
and university offices that make up the historic centre of
Cambridge.
As University and Civic Church, Great St Mary's seeks to
support the people of the University and of the city in
their own discovery of faith. We are committed to worship
that respects the tradition of the church but is open to
change and development in theology and society. We
hope that you will find a friendly welcome, a place of
prayer, excellent music and stimulating preaching.
The parish is geographically very small, and almost all
those who worship here live outside it. The church's
work, especially during the week, aims to reflect its
position in the heart of the city.
It is this city community that worshippers enter when they
come to church. It is this community that they come
to know and can pray for, alongside the wider concerns of
our troubled world, as part of the work of lifting the world
to God, through prayer and thanksgiving.
