You are guaranteed a warm welcome at St.Mary Magdalene.

We are a well-attended and lively congregation and welcome worshippers of all ages.
Most Sundays, there are activities specifically for children and young people.

The church itself is charming and set in beautiful grounds.
Just next door is the Parish Hall which is home to a wide range of community groups, including Scouts and Guides.

So if you would like to join with us in worshipping God and enjoying a real sense of fellowship then do please think about visiting us.

As a parish church of the Church of England, St Mary Magdalene Belmont exists to worship God and to make Christ known to all those who live in Belmont and Carrville, through prayer, teaching and loving service. We aspire to be a place and a community through which God's love shines, and by which our world is transformed.

Inspired by Mary Magdalene, we seek to:

Respond to the grace we receive from God

Travel together where Jesus leads

Provide from our resources to grow God's church and care for all in need

And are called by name to share our experiences of God
