LGBTQIA+ and inclusive church

Holy Trinity and St Mary’s are a part of the Inclusive Church Network.

We have a good reputation within Surrey for championing, welcoming and including people from all backgrounds.

We regularly host services and support groups working in the community to make life easier for those struggling or in need.

We also offer celebrations or blessings of same-sex relationships. We ensure that couples who come through our doors know that the love and blessing that comes from God can be part of their relationship.

We also recognise that we are all human and, by default, not perfect. No one is. If you have any feedback for us (good or bad!), or would like to be more involved, please contact the Parish Office.

We are a traditional Anglican church, with a strong congregation and sense of community.

If you come to Holy Trinity or St Mary’s you will be welcomed, exactly as you are.

“We believe in inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.’’

Please see below some of the ways that our churches work to support our parishioners and the wider community in Guildford.
