It is easily the largest building in the village, has fine acoustics for speaking, as well as for instrumental and choral concerts, and is well heated. There is a mix of pews and chairs and can seat up to 250 people.

It is also a very light church with beautiful stained glass so that whatever the time of day it provides a great ambience for an event.

By special arrangement the overhead projector and sound system can be made available. There is a small catering area and toilets. A dedicated car park provides off- street parking for 25 cars.

The ringers also meet every week on a Wednesday evening starting at 7pm for a practice, lots of laughs and chats, while (importantly) continuing to develop their technique.

We are also pleased to host visiting bellringing groups and as part of competitions.

You are warmly invited to get in touch at Bells@lympstonechurch.org if you would like to learn and master the arts of bell ringing!

We hold a coffee morning once a month in different homes around the village and are always happy to add another suitable venue to our list.

Details of dates and venues are advertised a week or two in advance in Events and through the church’s news sheet Worship Weekly.

We have a special flower pamphlet for special events, such as weddings which sets out what you need to know about flowers for the occasion.

The team would welcome additional arrangers to help beautify our church and our Flower Guild Co-ordinator can be contacted at Flowers@lympstonechurch.org.

Members of the village and of the church donate produce of many kinds to this stall and the proceeds are shared out to local and national charities

You have to be quick, though. Home-made cakes and freshly picked fruit and vegetables tend to go in a flash!

The money collected is donated to local and national charities.

We encourage the donation of food by villagers at collection points in the church and village shop.

Among other activities volunteers organise a monthly Sunday lunch in a community hall.

Food is cooked by volunteers and either delivered to people’s homes or served in the hall.

The church has no formal ties with the Community Lunch but several church members are pleased to assist with these lunches. In 2024 our Harvest Festival offerings were donated to the Hub for distribution to those who enjoy the Community Lunches.

In accordance with our Christian faith, we believe we have a responsibility to be good stewards of God’s beautiful world. This belief is reflected in how we seek to run our church.

In our worship, teaching, community and global engagement, we seek to promote climate-friendly lifestyles.

Measures are taken to manage the impact of our building and churchyard on the environment, for example by the use of renewable energy fueled by solar panels on the roof of our church.

Churchyard

We also have a specialist plan to enhance biodiversity in our churchyard. A group of volunteers from the church and the village meet to plan the maintenance of the churchyard.

Our efforts to be good environmental stewards have resulted in Lympstone Church being given a Silver Eco Church Award.

Friends of the Church

The church is the oldest building in the village and is much loved. As you would expect for a building of such size and age it requires significant maintenance. We are very grateful for the members of the church and many villagers who help raise funds through events held by the Friends.

These funds are donated by the Friends to the church solely for the maintenance of the fabric.

The Primary School holds assemblies and services in the church on a regular basis and the clergy attend these as appropriate.

The Beacon School in Exmouth is another Church School within the Mission Community. Its current head is a member of the church.

Many children from Lympstone Primary School go on to Exmouth College where the Mission Community has appointed a Chaplain.
