Occasional services
Look out for our termly Youth Service - all planned and executed by our own young people, these services explore a theme from contemporary life or Christian discipleship and present it through drama, music and prayer. If you've not been to one yet, please do come along and support our youth group.
We believe that the Parish Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, Godmanchester, exists to build up the individual and corporate spiritual life of our Church and to spread the love of Christ through word and deed, by enabling those who live and work within our town to come into contact with God’s love and come to faith in Christ.
