A REAL COMMUNITY WHERE YOU ARE
ALWAYS WELCOME
WHO ARE WE?
St Mary's is a Church of England parish church serving the northern part of Whitley Bay— from Spanish City to the Lighthouse. In our worship and in our other groups and activities, we always aim to include everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, people in families, and people living alone.
As a congregation at St Mary's we specifically understand ourselves and all we do as
-
Believing - we are here because of God, brought together by his love
-
Acting - creating space for all to grow
-
Connecting - looking outwards and being part of God's world
—and we would be delighted to welcome you to join us (online until we are able to return to our building!)
