St Olaf's Church Poughill

We are a forward-looking Anglican church in the village of Poughill on the edge of Bude, North Cornwall. As well as worshipping in Church, we meet together in smaller groups for social occasions, in youth and children's groups, and for prayer and Bible study. We try to support each other in our Faith and in our day to day lives. We don’t have all the answers but we are on a journeyof discovery -growing to know God and what it means to follow Jesus Christ in the 21st century.
Do join us - we love meeting new people, so visitors are especially welcome.
