How Can You Get Involved?
There are lots of way you can get involved at St Mary's Hitcham.
One of the fastest ways to find connection and purpose at St Mary's is through serving. Whether it's working with children or serving coffee, there is an opportunity to serve in all areas of ministry. So no matter your personality or your talents, you have a chance to make a difference here. We believe that God has given us all gifts that we can use for the good of others - all are ministers in our church.
Please see below where you can be involved in the St Mary's serving family and speak to or contact Chris Berry email; chris@ukchrisberry.co.uk or Carol Bader email: carol@carol-bader.me.uk who will be happy to help and guide as well as offer more information
