Welcome to St Mary’s! We are the Parish Church of Princes Risborough in Bucks, and a Church where everyone matters, and all are welcome. We meet for worship at 8.00, 9.30 and 11.15 on Sunday mornings and we would be delighted for you to join us.
What are we like?
We are a diverse and colourful group of people, and diversity is something to be celebrated and welcomed! We hold a range of services from the traditional prayer book service to quiet times of reflection and contemporary all-age worship – all are welcome to find the worship that suits them. Throughout the week we hold ‘Life Groups’ which are house groups for bible study & discipleship as well as interest groups where you can meet like-minded people.
Our church in the community and the wider world
As a local Church we are seeking to be kingdom–focused; to be ‘salt’ and ‘light’; to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our God; to be the voice, hands and feet of Jesus to those around us. Our mission statement is: 'sharing the love of Christ with all'.
Our Core Values - based on God's GRACE
Going deeper with God (through discipleship, the Bible, prayer & worship)
Reflecting Jesus (‘Doing Life Together’ through Life Groups)
Alive to what God is doing
Changing lives (committed to being a blessing to others)
Empowered by the Spirit (open to the Holy Spirit & all that God wants to do)!
