​​  Welcome to our church family website

​We trust you will find useful information about our church family in Whitchurch.

Covid19 Update - 2 November

Following the latest announcement there won't be any services in church until the beginning of December.

We will be streaming a live service every Thursday and every Sunday.
Details of on-line services are here - Online Church

The church remains open during the day from 11am until 4pm
for private prayer and contemplation; ​we are also able to hold funerals. 

At the moment weddings are only permitted in very limited exceptional circumstances.

​If you wish to discuss holding a funeral or wedding at St Andrew's ​please contact the vicar. 
Details of our online services and our brand new Video Library are now under the Online Church tab.
Services in church are currently suspended
Throughout this difficult time, the church continued 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.
