[1 John 1:5]

Welcome to the churches in our Wareham Church family, within Dorset’s beautiful Isle of Purbeck - each with its own distinctive style and liturgies. Together, we celebrate the light of Christ as we share the peace, harmony and assurance that he offers.

Our five churches are:

The Priory Church of Lady St Mary, Wareham

St Martin on the Walls, Wareham

Sandford St Martin’s Church

St Nicholas Church, Arne

St John the Evangelist Church, East Holme

The Priory Church of Lady St Mary, Wareham

The largest church within our group, we are a friendly and welcoming community in the heart of the town. We seek to grow together as disciples of Jesus Christ, both through our gathered Sunday worship and through various midweek groups and activities.

Our Parish Vision

Our vision is to show God’s love and make Jesus known in our community. We seek to do this by growing as disciples of Christ, reaching out in the power of the Spirit to serve those in need and feeding on God’s word as we share in fellowship together.
