St Mary's Slaley

St Mary's is a lovely, growing church at the heart of our village. You will always be welcome.

We meet for worship every Sunday at 11.15am.

Holy Communion is celebrated on the first and fifth Sunday of every month.

Messy Church (hugely popular!) is celebrated every quarter in the Commemoration Hall, Slaley.

St Mary’s has united Anglicans and Methodists in the village since Advent Sunday 2017. We feel that our union is both happy and creative under God.
