Our church is a multi-purpose Hall Church, with a large hall used for a range of community activities during the week as well as Sunday Services. We have a lively Junior Church, which meets during the Eucharistic service on Sundays at 9.30am. There is also a Lady Chapel available for weekday services, including a weekly service of Holy Communion using a liturgy from Iona, starting at 7.30pm on Tuesdays The door to the Lady Chapel is open on weekdays for anyone wishing to come in for quiet and peace. Morning and Evening Prayer are said in the Lady Chapel on weekdays (except Wednesdays) at 8.30am and 5.00pm.
During 2008/09 we celebrated 50 years in our current church building with a number of special events, especially over the weekends of 21/22 June and 27/28 September. We were delighted to welcome many who have worshipped here or used the hall for other activities over the years. About 4 years ago we had extensive work done to repair the roof, so the building was really safe and dry. That enabled us to move forward with plans for a major refurbishment of the kitchen/toilet/meeting room area, which was completed early in March 2015. This gives us a modern kitchen with facilities suitable for catering for 60-80 (sit-down meal) or 100 (buffet-style), which we hope will provide a useful venue for local residents and groups looking for a good entertaining space.
In 2016 we started a new "stay and play" group for 0-5 year olds on Tuesdays. This formed the starting point for the "Kidlington Community Hub at St John's" - a whole range of children's activities we are now hosting and/or organising to replace what was previously provided by the Kaleidoscope Children's Centre, which was closed in March 2017.

St Mary's Kidlington is part of the Parish of Kidlington with Hampton Poyle, and its sister churches are the Hall Church of St John the Baptist in Kidlington and St Mary the Virgin in Hampton Poyle. Our aim is to make worship, learning about the Bible and developing our understanding of the way of Jesus Christ, central to our life together.
The church is open every day for anyone wishing to explore the beautiful medieval building or looking for space to sit and reflect in peace.
In 2020 we are celebrating 800 year of worship in this building (and in our sister church in Hampton Poyle) with a series of community events throughout the year. For more information see the special website kidhp800.org.
On Sunday afternoons in the summer months home made teas are available in the Refectory to the rear of the building.
