St Mary's Church is an Anglican church in the centre of Maidenhead, England. It has a congregation of mixed ages and backgrounds. The church aims to "create a Christian family centred on Jesus as Lord and Saviour."
Buildings
There are several buildings on the St Mary's Church site. There is the church itself, the church halls, the 'Old Vic' (the vicarage from 1950–1992), the chapel and the Old Vic garden.
St Mary's Church has been rebuilt three times. Currently it is the fourth St Mary's Church. The fourth church was constructed in 1965. The spire is made of fibreglass and had to be hoisted into position by a crane.
Staff
The present vicar of St Mary's is the Revd Will Stileman. The church also employs three other clergy: two associate ministers, the Revd Sam Allberry and the Revd Dave Atallah; and the Revd Sam Brewster as curate. In addition to the clergy, the church employs other ministry and administrative staff, together with "ministry trainees" who take on the role of children's workers and youth workers.
