​The Church of England
​St Mary Abbots is part of the Church of England.   
The Living Wage foundation is an organisation
​"at the heart of the independent movement of businesses and people that campaign for the idea that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. We celebrate and recognise the leadership of responsible employers who choose to go further and pay a real Living Wage based on the cost of living, not just the government minimum".
The Prayer Book Society brings together those who value the Book of Common Prayer – to promote, celebrate, and study one of the most transformational Christian books after the Bible ever seen.
In 2023 we were awarded a Rocha Bronze Eco Church Award and are now working towards silver.  Eco Church is designed to help equip our church to "express your care for God’s world in your worship and teaching; in how you look after your buildings and land; in how you engage with your local community and in global campaigns, and in the personal lifestyles of your congregation".   You can find out more on how we can all save our resources HERE.

​
​We are members of an inclusive church – a church which "celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity or sexuality. 
We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ".
The Youth Ministry in Communion (London) network (YMIC) was established in 2021 by a group of parishes with a heart for young people in and around Kensington, Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham. Before the network grew and developed into something bigger than previously envisioned, we were clear about our vision which remains the same today. We want to renew youth ministry in the sacramental tradition: seeing young people encounter the love of God and be transformed.
The Major Churches Network is a group of 320 of the largest and most significant churches in England, recognised by both the Church and the state. To qualify the church must be "physically very large (over 1000m2 footprint, Grade I or II or (exceptionally) II listed, with Exceptional architectural or historic significance and with a role beyond that of a typical parish church, making a considerable civic, cultural and/or economic contribution to the wider community".
