Some little while ago we made some changes to our worship and we now offer a wider variety of styles and times.  Why not come along and try out a slightly different form of worship and see what you think?

Every Sunday will have two worship services - 10.30 and either 09.00 or 18.30.

We serve Gluten Free and Wheat Free Bread alongside non-alcoholic wine at our Communion Services.

Every Sunday will offer at least one traditional and occasionally another of a different style.

10.30 SERVICE - This continues to be our main service every Sunday.

The first Sunday each month will normally include a traditional sermon and communion (see above).

Another Sunday a month (often the third) will be in a less formal worship style. Worship style means things like All Age Worship, praise and celebration, Taizé, Healing etc ....  The aim is to offer a wider experience of worship in our main service so that we can appreciate some fresh ways of worshipping God.

On all other Sundays the service will be led by local preachers and other Circuit or retired ministers.

We will endeavour to make a crèche available every Sunday Morning.

After joining with everyone for the first part of morning worship there are various groups for children and young people.  Appropriate children's activities will be included in our different worship styles.

09.00 SERVICE - The monthly, mainly traditional, communion (normally on the third Sunday) will continue (see above) but there will be an extra service (normally the first Sunday) in one of the different worship styles outlined above.  (We serve Gluten Free and Wheat Free Bread alongside non-alcoholic wine at our Communion Services)  There will be a slightly wider variety of styles used because this service is attended by smaller numbers which makes greater flexibility possible.

18.30 SERVICE - These will continue as at present with two per month on Sundays when there is not a 09.00 service.  The second Sunday is normally a communion service (see above).

There will be a different worship style service monthly (normally on the 4th Sunday) - sometimes in the church and sometimes in the church hall at the rear.

When there is a fifth Sunday in a month, we join with other local churches for a Christians Together in Paignton United Service. This is held at a different Paignton church each time.

Our Prayer Ministry Team will be available after each 10.30 Service.
