Welcome

We are a benefice of 6 churches located in the beautiful South Hams.

We see our churches as a community we belong to, not just a place we go to. Although our buildings are beautiful the real essence of our community is the people.
Everyone is welcome at any of our services, which provide different flavours of both traditional and contemporary worship.
We live in a strange new world that none of us have encountered before. Whether you have been a Christian your whole life or are just trying to make sense of life, hopefully you will be able to encounter God through some of what we can offer here. We don’t have all the answers but we know the One who does.

Church Reopening

We are delighted that five of our churches are now open for private prayer on a rotational basis for a period of 3 hours.

Online Services

Until our church services resume we are holding a regular Sunday service and daily morning prayers online.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) guidance

In light of the Government guidance around non-essential contact, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York have issued advice that public worship is suspended until further notice.
