Facilities and features
Accessibility
We are currently unable to use the toilets in the church hall. The nearest public toilets are in the pub 'The Swan'.
We have a permanent ramp to the north door of the church (access via the lychgate) and there is a portable ramp for the south door.
Our Building
We have many stained glass windows. There are some with coloured glass showing people from the Bible or stories. Our logo is taken from the windows down the side of the church.
St Mary's Church is a Grade II listed building.
We achieved our Bronze Eco Church award in December 2022 and have started working towards our Silver award.
Music and Worship
We have a set of 6 bells, which can be booked for weddings or be rung during bell ringing tours.
Groups, Courses and Activities
Help for Visitors
Church is open for private prayer most Sunday mornings between 10am and the service starting at 11am.
Other Features
We have a collection trolley at the back of church for donations, which are regularly taken to Gateshead Foodbank by church volunteers.
The words for the 11am Sunday service are projected onto a screen.
The hall is currently unavailable.
We are working to become a Fairtrade Church. We use Fairtrade, tea, coffee and sugar during refreshments.
