Project History
We are a Baptist Church based in Exmouth and the church has been here for 50 years (1973 )seeking to serve the local community. We seek to serve all ages within our community sharing the love of Jesus. We have an active children's and youth department and we are seeking a trainee to come and work with us.
Structure & Vision
The church vision is 'To be a Christ centred people demonstrating the love of God in the community'.
The church structure is based upon a congregational model of church where there is a Minister, Elders and Deacons who work alongside our staff team of our Family Support Worker and Children's and Youth worker.
Location
We are based in Exmouth on a housing estate at the top of the town called Brixington. It has a catchment population of around 10,000 people. As part of our ministry we support to local primary schools and the Community College (this is the largest college in the UK).
Current Ministry
Our Children's and Youth seeks to serve the local community with a number of regular events and programmes. These include: -
Shine a weekly Friday afternoon club for primary school aged children
Parent Popin - This is a drop in for parents and young children on a Thursday afternoon
School assemblies - We under take assemblies weekly at the two primary local schools
College support - On a Friday lunchtime we offer support to students who are struggling
Messy Church - This is at present a monthly Saturday morning club where parents and children can come and learn about the gospel through craft and teaching.
Who Let The Dad's Out - This is a Saturday morning event monthly that provides space of Dad's to bring their children to play and learn more about Jesus.
One off community Events - we have a number of these events that run throughout the year in which we invite members of our community to attend.
