At St Mary’s we believe every person is made in the image of God. We’re committed to full inclusion in worship, belonging, ministry and leadership. That means no one should have to ask if they’ll fit in - because the answer is yes.
We’re members of Inclusive Church and hold to the Inclusive Church statement.
“We believe in inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.

We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.

We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.”
