About Us
At St Mary’s, our life together is shaped by three core values that express who we are and what we are called to be. These values guide our worship, our welcome, and our work in the wider community. They remind us that faith is at the heart of our life with God, hospitality is the way we share God’s love with others, and hope is the vision that carries us forward as we seek a just and flourishing future for Acton and beyond.
Faith
Rooted in Christ, we seek to grow as disciples through prayer, worship, and learning. Faith strengthens us for daily life, sustains us in times of challenge, and inspires us to serve God and neighbour with love.
Hospitality
We believe everyone is made in the image of God and deserves a warm welcome. At St Mary’s, hospitality means creating space where people of every age, background, and story can find belonging, friendship, and care.
Hope
Hope gives us courage to look to the future with confidence and trust in God’s promises. It calls us to work for justice, to care for creation, and to nurture a flourishing community where all can thrive.
