Crediton Congregational Church

Main Meetings:

Sun 10:30 Sunday Service
Our services are fairly informal and include sung worship, reading the Bible, praying and a sermon, with groups running for children and young people too. We also share in communion regularly. Whatever your reason for coming to church, we hope that you feel relaxed and at home with us, that you find people are friendly to you, and that our service is meaningful for you.

Under 18s:

We want to be a church where children and young people are safe and know that they are loved, welcomed and valued as part of our community. We recognise the importance of inter-generational connections where we learn from each other and we believe we have a part to play in helping the children and young people in our town to flourish. We want CCC to be a place where they can make friends, have fun and ask big questions. We pray that they will know, experience and respond to the love of God for themselves and grow in their faith. We have several projects running for them including: CORE - youth church on Sunday mornings MAINLY MUSIC - preschoolers group with music FISHTANK - preschoolers play with craft, games, singing and cake! FRIDAY KIDS - primary age club on Friday evenings including a hot meal FRIDAY YOUTH - youth drop-in on Friday evenings FUSION - children's church on Sunday mornings CRECHE - pre-schoolers' group on Sunday mornings

Our young adults life group is a great opportunity for 18-30s to gather together to read the Bible, pray and socialise together.
