​​  Welcome to our church family website

​We trust you will find useful information about our church family in Whitchurch.
 Services in church are happening - click here for information
Throughout this difficult time, the church continues to be here as a Christian presence in Devon. Although restrictions remain in place, we are gradually re-opening. Nevertheless, face to face visits are still problematic.  If you would like to speak to a minister or email, we will be pleased to help.
