Welcome

Sampford Peverell Team Mission Community

Welcome to the website for the Sampford Peverell Team Mission Community, a team of six parish churches within the Diocese of Exeter in beautiful Devon.

Team Treasurer Needed

Our current Team Treasurer is standing down in early 2020 and we are in urgent need of a (voluntary) Treasurer to overlap and then take on management of Team funds.

Can you help?

The Services Across Our Churches page shows the regular service pattern across the team, as well as the individual Services that take place each week and the Readings for the services.
Life Events - on these pages you will find information about the events that affect all of our lives, Baptism, Weddings and Funerals.
We are privileged to have a Children and Families Worker, so our Children and Families Work page will tell you all about him, the work that he does across our team, in our 5 schools and in our Community through Messy Church & Sundaze.
We have a Photo Gallery of some of the events that have happened across our Team.
Finally we are privileged to have Mill House Retreat within our locality, so we have a page about them and the events that happen at Mill House and a link to their Website.
We hope you enjoy your visit.

Safeguarding

Our Vision

To receive God’s love, to deepen our understanding of God’s love, and to share this understanding with our communities



Vision of Diocese of Exeter

We seek to be people who together are:

Growing in Prayer

Prayer is a life-giving activity that opens up deep places within us to God’s transforming grace. Growing in prayer is essential if we are to become the people and the Church God calls us to be.

Making new disciples

As the Christian story is less and less known, we must find new ways of telling the story, of explaining the faith and giving a reason for the hope that is in us. With Jesus Christ as our companion and guide we can travel through life differently.

Serving the people of Devon with joy

As followers of Jesus Christ, we want to make a difference in the world and make God’s love and justice known. In our church life we seek to be local, participatory and outward looking.
