We are a thriving and friendly Anglican church at the heart of Loughton.
CAFÉ HOPE
Café Hope is based in the welcome area at the front of St Mary's Church. We serve good quality coffees, a selection of teas, hot chocolate and delicious home made cakes and cookies. In delightful surroundings including a children's area and outside space (weather permitting), you can always be sure of a friendly welcome and somebody to chat to. We also have a range of handmade cards for sale.

St Mary's Job Club is a voluntary group of people who are available to assist with your search for employment.
We can offer free services such as CV writing and interview techniques within a coffee club environment - a great place to meet people.
Free internet access for your job search with help available if required. Wi-fi available.

Little Lambs
Little Lambs opened in 2008 and attained a ‘Good' rating from Ofsted in September 2009.
Little Lambs provides a small, intimate and friendly nursery for children aged between 2 1/2 and 5 years. Our setting is based in the premises of St Mary's, in the centre of Loughton's High Road.
We are open during term time in the mornings from Monday to Friday, 9.15am to 12.15pm and Monday to Thursday afternoons, 12.15pm to 14.45pm.
Need to Talk?
If you need someone to talk to about anything in your life, we're here to listen. We offer a confidential counselling service.
Children & YOUTH
There's lots going of for children and youth at St. Mary's. All of our work with 0-16 year olds comes under the banner of 'ignite', a specific ministry just for them, which includes everything from a full Children's Church programme every Sunday during the 10:30am service, to work in local schools, trips, residentials and after-school clubs.
Knit one...chat one
Love knitting and chatting?
Come along with your current knitting, crochet or sewing project, grab a cup of coffee and pull up a chair, on alternate Tuesdays 9:30-11am (term-time)
If you can't knit or crochet, that's okay! Come along and we can show you the basics! If you would like to learn we can lend you a pair of needles and some wool to get you started.
We will be sitting on the sofas in the café.
Membership is free and all you have to do is pay for your drinks and cake!
Refresh - Parenting Alone Lunches
These lunches are a fun way to get together with other people who are parenting alone. We have a Sunday lunch and chill out at the Vicarage every few months. You are welcome to come.
If you want to know more please contact Caroline Macdonald or Amanda Hart at the church office or e-mail the office.
