NATIONAL LOCKDOWN - We are able to continue holding our short Sunday services, as well the mid-week period of private prayer. However each church will be reviewing the risks in light of changing circumstances, and as a result details given may be subject to change. ​ 
Despite the restrictions the church family is still here for you. Please make use of information available on this website.
​                                            CHURCH IS WHO WE ARE, NOT WHERE WE GO
​ Exeter Diocese has been developing Mission Communities since 2006.  These are groups of parishes in the same locality who share the same ministry team, and a common vision, whilst each church still maintains its own identity.
​WELCOME to the South Molton Mission Community (legally South Molton Benefice) which comprises nine churches spread across a large area of rural ​North Devon.  See map.

Sunday 17th January

Eternal Lord,
our beginning and our end:
bring us with the whole creation
to your glory, hidden through past ages
and made known
in Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
our mission community logo ~ the symbolism
The Christian Symbolism:
  • The circle, because it has no beginning or end, is symbolic of eternity. It is used most often as a reference to God.
  • The plain shepherd's crook is a reminder of Jesus, the Good Shepherd.*      ( It also reminds us that our Mission Community historically, and even to this day, is an agricultural area of which sheep farming plays an important part.)
  • The initials form, in conjunction with the crook, a cross which is the chief sign of the Christian church. It is a reminder that Jesus Christ is the centre of our Christian faith.
​* A highly ornamented crook called a "crosier"  is used as a symbol of ecclesiastical authority carried by a bishop.
