We believe that church is at its best when everyone plays a part. God has given each of us unique gifts, skills and passions, and serving is a wonderful way to use them, grow in faith, build friendships and make a difference.
There are lots of ways to get involved at St Mary’s and St John’s, whether you have a little time or a lot to give. We recognise that everyone is at a different stage of life, and we’d love to help you find a way to serve that works for you.
Together, we can help create a welcoming, thriving church community where people can encounter God, feel they belong and grow in faith. We’d love you to be part of it!
If you’d like to do something you’ve never done before let us know, there are lots of people willing to support you. You’ll be able to choose how often you serve and what you’d like to help with and if you find it’s not the right thing for you then that’s OK too!
If you’d like to volunteer with a Sunday Service team you can find out more HERE.
