Worship at St.Paul's Church, Barnstaple

We believe that worship is about more than what goes on inside a church building.

Our whole lives can express worship to God.

At St.Paul's we encourage people to live their faith, and worship God in more than just words, though we do have quite a variety of worship styles to help people both sense God's presence and learn from him. We seek to be accessible to the widest range of people whilst staying true to our Church of England heritage.

Children are very welcome at all our main 10am services.
Except on the third or a fifth Sunday in the month (or during school holidays), our Seekers groups for 3-11yrs have separate activities and rejoin everyone else at the end of the service. There is a specially furnished and resourced place at the back of the church for any small children who are too young for Seekers, or who prefer staying in the main service with a parent/carer.

The heart of worship is not ourselves, nor our preferences, but coming closer to God. There are weekday opportunities through services, groups or sharing in prayer or acts of ministry and help to others.
