Church Hill, Marldon, Paignton, Devon TQ3 1SL
We are part of the Totnes Team of ten churches, which offers a wide range of opportunities to journey in community and to grow in faith through traditional and informal worship.
If there is a particular matter that we can help you with, whether that is planning a christening, wedding or funeral or joining one of our groups or if you’d like to hear more about the charitable work we do locally, nationally and internationally, please take a look around our website or contact us.
Whether you are new in faith or whether you have been a Christian for many years we recognise that growing in faith and being transformed by the knowledge of God’s unconditional love for each of us is a lifetime’s journey. We are companions on the way, learning from and with each other and supporting each other through the ups and downs of life.
If you come along to a service do introduce yourself – and please join us for coffee in the Village Hall afterwards.
Holy Communion (1st, 2nd & 3rd Sundays)
Village Worship (4th Sunday)
Refreshments in the Village Hall are available after every service.
5th Sundays: Totnes Team Service. Next one is 30 August at 10.30am at St Mary’s, Totnes.
For details of Zoom and Phone-in services please get in touch with the Totnes Team.
The Church is open for visitors and private prayer every day from approx 9am-5pm.
We also have a number of other ways in which we can be together, as well as on Sundays.
Our community flower festival was a wonderful event, visited by over 600 people across the last weekend of June. Click here for some photos.
Revd Jane Frost retired as Associate Priest on 31 July. Richard will also be relinquishing his current licence as a Licensed Lay Minister and they will be returning to the house they own in Broadclyst near Exeter.
Their last service was on Sunday 26 July and you can listen to it here.
They say: ‘Thank you so much for the wonderful and generous gifts, cards and expressions of love and affirmation last Sunday – and in the previous three years! Both of us are deeply grateful for our time here and you will remain in our prayers.’
If you would like prayer for yourself, someone else or for a situation that concerns you, please add a leaf to our prayer tree. We will pray for you in our services and as individuals.
And feel free to light a candle for someone. Stay a while and think of them.
