Inclusivity

Across our Benefice and LEP we aim to be a welcoming and inclusive church. We strive to create a safe space for people of all ages, black and ethnic minority backgrounds, +LGBTQIA+ people, as well as those who are physically impaired, neurodivergent and people with learning disabilities.

We believe that the good news of Jesus is about being welcomed for who you are regardless of background, ability, sexual orientation or colour.

We will try to make our buildings as accessible as possible. Large screens are permanently installed at St Mary’s and the URC. We have hearing loops installed across all three of the Churches.

We are committed to do better, to challenge where necessary and to genuinely welcome all.
