St Mary’s is the Church of England parish church in Balham. Like the community it serves, our congregation is made up of people from a wide variety of backgrounds and perspectives. Our worship is centred on the Eucharist (Holy Communion), which binds us together in Christ and empowers us to share his Gospel with the world. 



As part of the Inclusive Church Network, we welcome and affirm every individual as a child of God, regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexuality or background. We nurture people of all ages in the Christian faith and deepen our relationship with Christ through the sacraments, prayer, learning, and social engagement.
