Today

In 2015 the PCC of St Mary & St George entered into an agreement with the PCC of St Andrew's Church, Hatters Lane, which would see a 'church planting team' sent across to establish a new worshipping community and help to revitalise the ministry and mission of the church.
In 2018, Revd. Jonny Dade was licensed by the Bishop of Buckingham as the Pioneer Minister to St Mary & St George with a remit to lead 30 adults and children to plant a new congregation in SMG. The project was supported by the Diocese of Oxford, the Wycombe Deanery and New Wine. In March 2019 the new congregation was launched.
