About St Mary’s.

St Mary’s Bearwood is a community made up of all ages, different backgrounds and different experiences of faith. Wherever you are on your journey, whether you’ve been believing for years or you’ve never stepped foot in a church before, you would be so welcome, we’d love to meet you.
- Revd Ben & Johanna Baker

The vision for St Mary’s is sharing God’s heart for Bearwood in the heart of Bearwood.

Life Together.

It’s not easy to be a Christian by yourself! We are committed to community, supporting one another as we seek to live out our faith in the day to day, and to developing friendships across all cultural barriers. We may be different in many ways but we are one church and want everyone to find they are included, feel at home and are able to participate in our community life.

Shaped by Jesus.

Our lives are built around Jesus, whose life showed us the best way to live and whose death and rising again gave us the power to do it. We are all somewhere on the journey of following Jesus: seeking to spend time with Jesus, become more like Jesus and do the things that Jesus did for the sake of the our friends, communities, and the wider world.

Being Good News.

We have good news for our Bearwood community, that there is a God who cares for us and invites us to receive his love, joy, and healing presence in our lives. We want to demonstrate this good news of God’s love in both our words and actions, not just talking about it, but being a living, breathing people who show it. Our prayer is as Jesus prayed, that God’s will would be done in Bearwood as it is in heaven.
