Welcome to the website of St Mary's Church, Billingshurst, West Sussex

Vision and purpose

 

Why does St Mary's exist?

 

To worship God and share in the community

Jesus’ love and message of hope

 

Values

 

Prayerful. Prayer is the core foundation of the church as it strengthens and unifies our relationship with God and with each other. So we need to be a prayerful church.

Accepting. Our acceptance must be seen in our Christ-likeness in welcoming, and responding without judgment to, all people.

Caring. In obedience to Jesus' command to love one another we reach out in love to everyone the Spirit puts in our path.

Truthful. Jesus is God's truth and we must aim to live our lives in the light of that truth, and draw others into it.

 

Mission Action Plan

 

In May 2008, a detailed Mission Action Plan was agreed unanimously by the PCC.

As we continue to work together both to discern, and to follow, God's vision for us (we must not forget that God continues to call us to move onwards) we will need to assess, and reassess, what is the particular part for each of us, individually, to play.
