SEEKING JESUS IN THE
HEART OF THE LAKES

At St Mary’s Ambleside, we’re learning to follow Jesus and become more fully alive, shaped by the presence of God through worship, community, and dependent prayer.

There’s room at the table. For everyone. Yes, even for you.

Our staff team exists to support and enable the whole church to participate fully in our shared mission, working alongside volunteers and leaders across church life.
