St Mary's is the ancient parish church of the market town of Sturminster Newton. In this beautiful building in the heart of the Blackmore Vale, the local Christian community come together each Sunday to worship Almighty God and to build up disciples in prayer and fellowship. Visitors are welcome at all our services and all the baptised are invited to receive Holy Communion at any Eucharist. We are committed to work together to make Christ's love known in the modern world.
