Vision

St Mary’s is a church seeking to know God and to show God’s love to others. Everyone is welcome at St Mary’s. Whether you have big questions, are exploring the Christian faith, are new to faith or have been a follower of Jesus for a long time, St Mary’s doors are wide open to you.

We are the local Church of England Parish Church, located in the communities of Hollywood and Wythall.  We are placed at the heart of the community with our building being on the site of The Coppice Primary School. We love the communities of Hollywood and Wythall and our activities during the week are driven by our desire to serve people, to show God’s love in practical ways and to take every opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with those we meet.

We gather on Sunday mornings to worship God together. Our services tend to be more informal than formal. We believe God’s Word to us in the Bible is living and active today. We love being together, enjoying fellowship together and welcoming in everyone who comes along.

So we would love to hear from you or see you sometime. Get in touch by email or phone or come along one Sunday to find out more.
