We want our church community to be open to all, where we can learn and have fellowship together, and build up our service and contribution to the life of the local community. You can read about our youth groups on this page. For information about what we offer older people click here.

MUMS and TODDLERS: meets on Thursday morning with a short service, followed by a social time. We welcome parents, grandparents and carers of very young children and aim to provide time, friendship and support for anyone looking after a small person.
SEEKERS children are aged three to about nine. We meet on Sunday mornings and join the rest of the church for part of the service. We aim to inform children about the Christian faith and to help them start to think for themselves. Our children often play a part in the Eucharist on every third Sunday of the month.
RAINBOWS, BROWNIES & GUIDES: meet weekly at St Mary's. Girls and young women are challenged by new adventures; develop personal faith and values; make friends and have fun; develop a sense of tolerance and justice; learn teamwork and leadership; appreciate the environment; learn about the world, its people and cultures.
QUEST: Young people aged 10-15+ meet on Sunday mornings to explore the Christian faith in ways relevant to their own life experience.  We have often worked on special projects such as the collage hanging on the wall halfway up our stairs and the stained glass windows upstairs. We join the church service for communion.
