St Mary's is about people and about God. In our openness to God and to growing spiritually we are open to all people, and especially to our local suburban community. We see ourselves as a loving, serving, accepting and caring community of Christians.
Currently St Mary's people come from Paremata, Golden Gate, Papakowhai, Camborne, Pauatahanui, Judgeford, Ascot Park, Aotea and Tawa, in addition to Whitby.
St Mary's folk are
especially welcoming of newcomers. In fact newcomers comment that they were
drawn to St Mary's because they felt very welcome.
Our special focus is on ministry to children, younger youth and their families.
However, we are in no way exclusive of others. Singles, solos, the elderly and
those who feel on the margins are welcome too.
With the other local churches of Whitby with whom we work together, we pray that you will find the Christian community in our locality a blessing and of practical service.
We always appreciate feedback about the helpfulness or otherwise of this site and of our people as you encounter them. Please contact us via the feedback link.
