SOUTH MOLTON MISSION COMMUNITY
​
​WELCOME to the  nine churches that make up the South Molton Mission Community ( legally known as South Molton Benefice).  
Exeter Diocese has been developing Mission Communities since 2006.  They 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.  See a map.
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.
