Mission Shed Devon

Mission Shed Devon Mission sheds are resource hubs for church leaders, ordained and lay and their teams / individuals t

Mission Sheds offer a gathering place (mission resource hubs) for church leaders, teams and individuals who want to learn how to grow church, do church in new ways, connect with and serve their communities; and share our experience and stories to help one another. Currently we have 3 Missions Sheds - Plymouth, West Devon (Okehampton) and Newport, Barnstaple. Our vision is to launch three more over

the next year across Devon. Oct 17th 2017 - launch date for East Devon Mission Shed in Honiton

The Mission Shed vision was initiated by Diocese of Exeter Mission Enabler Barry Dugmore and in partnership with teams of ordained and lay leaders across the diocese.

The next Beyond the Walls conversation is happening on Tuesday 11th August at 1pm. You can find all the details and book a place on the webinar on the website https://beyondthewalls.online It's free!

This month we've get to hear from the two faithful pioneers behind the very effective Pioneering Parishes https://churchmissionsociety.org/pioneering-parishes/ resource - Revd Tina Hodgett and Revd Greg Bakker. Join the conversation, and hear about their new book 'Into All the Parish'.

Into All The Parish: Pioneering Practices for Every Local Church is co-authored by Rev. Tina Hodgett and Rev. Greg Bakker and published by Church House Publishing (Summer 2026).
The book serves as a practical guide designed to help traditional local churches cultivate a new "way of being" so they can thrive alongside their wider communities. Drawing on the authors' extensive work with the Pioneering Parishes organisation, the book equips church leaders and congregations with the necessary tools, practices, and postures to shift their focus outward. It provides an actionable framework to help established churches adapt to outward-focused community engagement, build symbiotic relationships with new or pioneering congregations, and meaningfully connect with unconnected people in their neighbourhoods.

'His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation.' - Luke 1:50

Join us at Exeter Cathedral for a landmark gathering of worship, reflection and intercession as part of the global Thy Kingdom Come movement. This year, our focus turns to the prophetic power of young voices. Inspired by Mary's Song- the revolutionary response of a young girl to a loving God who transforms the world- we will explore how we can better understand our faith through the perspectives of the emerging generation.

With keynote speaker Rachel Gardner, Director of Partnerships at Youthscape, an intergenerational panel and worship from Andy Flannagan, this will be an evening with dedicated space to pray for our friends, families and communities.

The next series of 'Beyond the Walls' webinar discussions are released. www.beyondthewalls.online

Next month (10th March) we are with Revd Dr Al Barrett:
Revd Dr Al Barrett has been Rector of Hodge Hill Church (on the eastern edge of Birmingham) since 2010, and has been deeply involved with neighbours in a long-term, intergenerational journey of grassroots community-building on his multicultural outer urban estate. This collective grassroots work has in turn shaped his thinking and writing, particularly in the entangled strands of class, race, gender and ecology. Al will be inviting us to pay attention to the work of nurturing community and kinship in a world that feels like it is falling apart, and to see our neighbourhoods as complex ecosystems within which the life-giving Spirit is at work.

In April we are with Jonny Baker
Focus: How might dwelling on Jesus’ encounters with those at the fringes open up imagination for our own practice and ministry? Does the lens of fringe dwelling have anything to fresh to say to us about Jesus and about being disciples? How might we read the scriptures , particularly gospel stories, in participative ways in our communities?

And in May with Revd Sally Taylor:
Rev’d Sally Taylor is a Pioneer Anglican Priest working in Poole, Dorset. Sally trained at Sarum College as well as studying at CMS and served her Curacy in Hamworthy, Poole. For the past 3 years she was led an ecumenical gardening project which has reimagined a derelict urban space in the grounds of an 18th century United Reformed Church into a growing and reflective space. Out of this grew Garden church which she leads. She is an LLM Formation Officer for Salisbury Diocese . She also heads up Ember - a pastoral reflective space for churches that are facing closure or rethinking what it means to be church.

She is passionate about enabling the church to remember its calling and be open to reimagining itself in ways that are appropriate to time and context. She teaches on the CMS Pioneer Certificate as well in other spaces and supports several lay and ordained Pioneers in their journeys. At home she is part of a small Missional Community where she lives and shares a pattern of prayer, life and resources with her neighbours.
