Welcome to St Mary's

Welcome to St Mary's.
We are an inclusive Anglican church situated in a vibrant and diverse part of Brighton. We welcome all who enter our doors - and also those who simply look in out of curiosity. We strive to be representative of the community in which we are situated - whether elderly or young, partnered or single, gay, bi, lesbian, trans or straight.

Read more About us and our Services. Contact us. Make a donation. Ask us to pray for you.

The 10am Sunday service is live-streamed for people at home, at bit.ly/StMarysKT.
Many of our other services and events are also live-streamed.

The church is open for individual prayer and our regular services on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9.30am to 1pm. We're also open on Tuesday evenings at 6.30pm -7.15pm for Evening Prayer and visitors.

​Baptisms, Blessings, Weddings, Funerals/Services of Thanksgiving/

The Church of England’s General Synod has welcomed proposals which would enable same-sex couples to come to church after a civil marriage or civil partnership to give thanks, dedicate their relationship to God and receive God’s blessing.

​The Parish Church Council have overwhelmingly endorsed these proposals. Please contact us for more details if you would like to mark your special occasion with prayers and a blessing.
We have a regular service on the third Saturday of each month at 2pm which may be an opportunity, if you wish to arrange a blessing within that service.
