About Us

If you have newly joined the village, or are a visitor, we would like to welcome you and hope that you soon feel part of this friendly community. 

We are a Fairtrade Church and have gained the A Rocha Bronze award.

The church lies centrally in the village and has a mixture of church services.  'Open Faith', at 6.00pm on the first Sunday, is an informal evening service;  the All Age Service (either Communion or lay-led) on the second Sunday welcomes families and is supported by our church band; on the third Sunday we have our more traditional Common Worship Communion Service, and on the 4th Sunday we have our very popular Messy Church, sometimes in in the Village Hall, sometimes in church. It comprises breakfast, craft activities, Bible stories and prayers and is open to all families and friends in the Sampford Peverell neighbourhood.  We hope that we have 'something for everyone'.  Our website always gives up-to-date details.

 Alongside the church services our kitchen servery offers hospitality in the building and social events.

We look forward to meeting you, from all at St. John the Baptist’s Church.
