Rooted in faith and reaching out in love, St Mary’s serves Warwick and beyond through worship, music, and community. Discover how our ministry brings faith to life—locally and globally.
Welcome to Our Ministry
Nestled in the heart of the historic town of Warwick, the Collegiate Church of St Mary—affectionately known as St Mary’s—is a living place of worship, music, and community. For over 900 years, our church has stood as a beacon of faith, beauty, and prayer for Warwickshire and beyond.
At St Mary’s, our ministry is rooted in faith and reaching out in love. We express this through worship, hospitality, and service—welcoming all who visit and offering a place of belonging, hope, and renewal.
“We aim to receive each person as Christ—so that all who come to St Mary’s feel valued, cared for, and at home.” Fr Angus Aagaard.
Vision2030 – rooted in faith, reaching out in love
Our vision is rooted in the belief that with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19.26). We seek to become a thriving St Mary’s, raising funds to re-order and preserve our beautiful building and choral tradition, including the construction of a new St Mary’s Hall on site. Ministering to town, county and beyond, we seek to build an inclusive, caring and enduring legacy, and shine as light for Christ atop the hill in Warwick.
In Autumn 2024, we invited St Mary’s community to pray, reflect, and envision the church’s future. A vision is vital to give clear direction, unite our community, and align our mission with God’s purpose. With 100 participants and over 600 lines of feedback, questionnaire responses helped shape Vision2030, a statement of the church’s vision, mission, and mission action plan. The Parochial Church Council (PCC) reviewed and approved Vision2030 in principle on 6 November 2024. Our mission action plan will stay flexible as we grow in understanding God’s calling over the next five years and as we adapt to new circumstances. To find out more about our vision and the progress being made please look at the Vision2030 booklet, Year One Report and 2026 Highlights leaflet.
