Since 2013 we have developed a series of ‘stepping stone’ projects that engage children and families in the Christian Faith. We aim to reach out to people beyond the church building into our schools, communities and families. A team of volunteers and our paid Children, Families & Schools Worker help to support and deliver these activities.

with Churches

We have six historic churches that as a team, provide creative initiatives in a variety of worship styles and across different venues. We also work closely with local Methodist churches. 

* Messy church  
* Christmas and Easter specials
* Developing all-age worship services

In the past we have also  run or offered ...

* Sundaze  * Sunday school

with Schools

We work with five primary schools (more than any other Team in Devon). We strive to build strong relationships with children, parents, staff and governors through the delivery of a range of Christian-based teaching.

* “Open the book”   * Collective worship

* Leavers support   * Services

* Support for SIAMS and RE Lessons

In the past we have also  run or offered ...

* “Godly play”  * “Bible story club”  

with Communities

We are keen to be a visible presence in our community and to signpost people we meet to the range of services we offer. Our aim is to serve our whole community and not just those already known to our churches. 

Providing a  welcoming presence and children's activities at 

* Fetes    * Social  gatherings    * Community events

with Families

At the heart of all this work are children and their families.  It is in the home that the seeds of faith are nurtured and we aim to support and resource our families to grow. 

* Resourcing families and encouraging prayer ("faith bags")

* Christmas Posada       * Easter Posada

We follow the safeguarding policies of the Parish and Methodist Churches and volunteer leaders are DBS checked.
