St Andrew Chardstock
St Andrews is a beautiful Victorian village church. We are a small but welcoming community in the East Devon countryside serving the village of Chardstock and surrounding hamlets. We are part of the Axe Valley Mission Community so we generally have a couple of services a month in the church; a Eucharist and a more informal one, with others at neighbouring parishes in the AVMC. We have a monthly coffee morning and in the summer a produce stall to sell surplus garden produce in aid of church funds. We also have a well-used community bookstall. Our lady chapel is set up as a prayer space for quiet prayer and contemplation. The church itself is popular for weddings and is used for occasional concerts and partakes as a hub in village events.

It is the base for a people who worship our wonderful God, and meet for prayer, study, music, fellowship and social activities, and a place for individuals to come for quiet, reflection and personal time with God.
The church has Norman origins, although much of the building dates from the 13th-15th centuries. St Mary's is Axminster's parish church and the oldest building in the town. St Mary's has been Grade II* Listed since 1950

St John Baptist Membury
Our much loved church is a Grade 1 listed building, that has evolved over the centuries. It contains examples of architecture extending from the Norman period to the 21st century, including part of a finely carved medieval screen.
In the late 14th century tower there is a ring of six bells, which are often rung before services, and again on Monday evenings, for bell practice.
The church is normally open every day, and holds services on Sunday mornings at 11am, to which everyone is warmly welcomed.
Our services follow the monthly pattern of Holy Communion on the first and third Sundays, Morning Prayer on the fourth Sunday. Where there is a fifth Sunday we join with the other churches in the Axe Valley Mission Community when the various churches take turns to host the service.
