Worship

at Great St Mary's, the University Church, Cambridge

Worship lies at the heart of Christian life. It is in worship that we express our theology and define our identity. It is through encountering God within worship that we are formed, and transformed, as God’s people. Whether you're seeking to deepen your faith or are just curious about Christianity, you're invited to join us in worship.
