St Mary’s enjoys being part of community life here in Hartfield. As a church, we are all members of that community. We seek to worship God our heavenly Father, who created us, loves us, and saved us by sending his Son, Jesus. We care for one another and enjoy each other’s friendship. We want to know God better, so we listen to what He has said to us in the Bible and let Him shape our lives by His Holy Spirit. We recognise our calling to serve God in this His world. And we do our best to reach out with God’s love, sharing the wonderful news that God Himself invites every one of us to know Him.
