Many services at St. Mary's are 'traditional' and follow the liturgical structures one might expect from an Anglican Church, however, we believe in enabling the Body of Christ express its worship of Jesus in a variety of ways. We hope that you will find an expression of worship that you are able to connect with and through it, your faith in Christ would be nurtured and enriched.
