St Matthias Church Torquay

St Matthias Church Torquay Welcome to The Parish of St. Matthias’, St Mark and Holy Trinity, Torquay. We expect children to be themselves - children! We look forward to meeting you. John

Whatever the reason you are trying to find out more about the church, we'll be delighted to see you. We're a growing church family of around 200 people, and you will see on these web pages that we offer a wide range of styles of church services and activities, to which everyone is welcome, and that these don't just take place on Sunday. The number of families is growing rapidly, so don’t worry if

you’re unsure how you’ll manage with even small children or babies. But we’re also finding that many older and single people are finding a home here too. Like any church family, some of us have a lot of faith, some of us have little. However, we journey with each other, discovering more of the incredible love that God the Father has for us, and of the fulfilment of living that we find in Jesus Christ. We regularly offer courses to explore what Christianity is all about - for those who are sceptical - and those who are less so. However, if there is a particular matter you would like to discuss with us, please feel free to contact the clergy so that we can arrange a time to meet. If you do come along for a service, please make yourself known to one of the clergy or welcome teams so that we can get to know you better. May God bless you.
