About Us
We
are a church of about a hundred members from a remarkably wide range
of ages and backgrounds united by our faith in Christ. Roughly half
our members live in Greenham; others live elsewhere in Newbury or
beyond.
St
Mary’s is the (Church of England) Parish Church for Greenham,
though our members come from a variety of church backgrounds.
Our vision is to be a church where;
-
all are loved and valued
-
we truly encounter the living God
-
all are encouraged to find their role
-
we make a difference to our community
-
people are helped to find a living faith and grow as Christians
What
is our Emphasis or ‘Spirituality’?
We
believe the Bible to be God’s word, and seek to live by its
teaching. We also believe god is alive and active through his Holy
Spirit and that spiritual gifts are for today.
We
have two different styles of worship. At 9.00am, there is a Traditional
Communion service with organ and well-known hymns. The main 10.30
am service is informal, with a strong ‘family feel’,
and the music is mainly modern worship songs.
Church history
St. Mary's Greenham boasts a fine example of Victorian art and architecture and part of it was built in the 13th century.
