Welcome to St Mary's Church, Blackpool!
Since its humble beginnings in a loft of a stable in 1918, our church has been reaching out in love to our Blackpool community with the good news that Jesus came down to earth from heaven, was born as a human baby, lived among us and died on the cross. But that was not the end because he rose again! After all these years, we continue to serve a risen Christ.
Why not come along to one of our Sunday services and find out more about this Jesus? Bring the family and stick around after the service for a cuppa!
Promoting a Safer Church
St Mary's Church, Blackpool, have adopted the House of Bishops ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ policy and the Parish Safeguarding Handbook, incorporating the House of Bishop’s Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance.
A copy of this, and all the information below can be found here: cofe-policy-statement.pdf (churchofengland.org)
We also display the Promoting a Safer Church poster prominently within our church. This is in the entrance hall to Church along with relevant phone numbers and contact details.
All those working with children and adults at risk have undergone safer recruitment and received safeguarding training.
