Welcome
Our Mission is to be a church community that is welcoming, outward-looking and outward-reaching, rooted in prayer and worship.
We are an inclusive Anglican Church in the Catholic Tradition on the West side of the River Exe in Exeter. You are very welcome to join us at any of our services and events - please see 'What's On?' for details or explore our website and find out more about us and our team.
Our Worship
We meet in the church for Sung Eucharist at 10:30am on Sunday.
There is also a traditional service of Holy Communion in church every Wednesday at 10am.
More information, including prayers and readings for the day, can be found on the pewsheet, via the tab above.
The church is open from 10-3 Monday to Friday for anyone who would like to light a candle or say a prayer. The Community Fridge is also accessible during these times.
Community Larder
In the wider community, we have joined together with local ministers from St Thomas Methodist Church, St Thomas Baptist Church and Riverside, and with many other local representatives to establish a Community Larder. The Community Larder supports people and families who are experiencing reduced incomes or who face challenging circumstances. Donations can be brought to church on Sunday mornings.
Finance & Fundraising
The church receives no central funding, so we are grateful for all forms of support, including financial.
To donate online please follow this link to our fundraising page.
