Organisation 

St Mary's, Market Drayton is part of the Church of England (Anglican Church), is in the Diocese of Lichfield and in the Bishop of Shrewsbury's Episcopal Area.

The Church has a "Mandated Ministry Team" (mandated by the Bishop) comprising the Clergy, Readers, Church Wardens and Pastoral Care Leader. To assist the PCC and the Ministry Team in making decisions there are three different "Task Groups" which have the responsibility to implement our vision.

Thus there is a sense of shared leadership and many people have a say in the running of the Church.
