Welcome to the new-look website* for the South Tamar Mission Community.  STMC is a group of 6 Church of England parishes in the rolling farmland of the Tamar Valley AONB, broadly between the River Tamar and the River Lyd. We have 2 primary schools in the area, and our schools volunteers also work in another on our borders. All our volunteers have DBS checks and undergo regular safeguarding training. We also have a strong pastoral team who work with people in local residential care settings, and trained Anna Chaplains specialising in spiritual support for the older age range. As well as a strong team of volunteers, we have a full time vicar - Priest-in-Charge, Reverend Gill George.  We are also blessed with Local Lay Minister, Richard Searight, and retired priest, Revd Canon Tim Thompson. 

*Additional information for finding things on the new website:

We have adopted this new format because it is more user friendly for representatives from each parish to use, and also has better functionality.  There is an overarching 'umbrella' site for the whole benefice, linking through to individual parish websites. The benefice calendar can be filtered by location, and calendar entries contain information about the event, as well as optional downloads - for instance the event poster.  

In the 'News and Notices' tab you will find the service schedules (which can be downloaded and printed), the bi-monthly Parish News magazine, and a link to read the weekly email, as well as information about what's on.

The 'Prayer Support' tab contains the Benefice Prayer List for inclusion in private prayers and public intercessions, along with other prayers.

'View mission community churches' will take you to any of our individual parishes, which can be located by clicking on the map, or viewed in a list.
