St John the Baptist

St John the Baptist Church is in the beautiful village of Lynmouth in the heart of the village.  There is a pay and display car park adjacent to the church as well on street parking.   We have a small exhibition in the church which gives a brief history of our village.  We have regular services as part of the Lyn Valley Mission Community Group of Churches.  We have a ramp for disabled access and are open daily,

We (the youth) have decided to continue meeting indefinitely and to name the group 'SoulSpace'.

SoulSpace is a multi-church youth group that meets weekly in Holman Park Club House, Lynton, 4.45pm until 6pm on Tuesday evenings. We share food, play games, have meaningful conversations about life, faith and purpose, and more. Whether you have gone to church for years or have never set foot in one before, all are welcome!

This group is for children of secondary school age but you must have parental consent to attend.
