Faithful, Engaging, Hospitable.
The Parish of Holy Trinity and St Mary's Guildford is a thriving community in the centre of Guildford with Guildford Methodist Church at St Mary's.
We are a member of the cluster group with our neighbouring churches St Nicolas' and St Saviour's.
The churches of Holy Trinity and St Mary's have a long tradition of witness to Christ's presence in the community of Guildford.
For more than ten centuries they have preached the Good News of Christ to the town, welcoming those in need or in search of spiritual help.
Holy Trinity and St Mary's provide the focus for friendship, personal growth, service and nourishment.
Holy Trinity is Guildford's civic church, where the installation of each new Mayor and the town's annual Act of Remembrance is celebrated. It also serves as the venue for regular musical events.
St Mary's Church is believed to stand on the same site as Guildford's first church which was probably a small timber structure built in about 600 AD. St Mary's Church tower, which is built of rough flint, is the oldest surviving piece of architecture in Guildford. We are proud to share this wonderful space with Guildford Methodist Church.
The central place the two churches hold in our town is underlined by their active involvement with the broader community in worship, cultural activity and charitable work.
We are very fortunate to be part of this remarkable community of faith.
