Could God be calling you to lead us

St Mary’s, Bletchley is a vibrant, diverse, parish of 30,000 people within the rapidly growing city of Milton Keynes. Over the last ten years community outreach has grown substantially and we’ve been the sending church for three plants within the Deanery.

  • a staff team, and a growing group of committed leaders and volunteers;
  • a Deanery open to creative mission;
  • a 5-bedroom detached Rectory;
  • a supportive church that will pray for you, respect your time off and provide time for your own spiritual growth and mission.
