St Mags is a friendly church in the heart of Torquay that welcomes people from all walks of life.
St. Mags is a medium-large, charismatic, open evangelical church in the heart of Torquay. Our doors are open to everyone and everyone walks in! We are committed to church being a community and space where we encounter God. St Mags is full of prayer, welcome, hospitality, discipleship, justice, and creativity. We are missional and bold in our witness and have seen Jesus transform many broken lives and we love to worship Him together in the Power of the Holy Spirit.
St Mags offers two services on a Sunday. Our growing first service at 9am is a quiet and contemplative communion service. Our 11am is very informal, family focused and charismatic worship, featuring a contemporary style suitable for all ages. We are deeply committed to growing in the faith of Jesus Christ and loving one another - and pursue this passionately through teaching the Bible and ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit. We are intentional in our language and our attitude - intentional about making worship truly accessible and participatory, especially to folks who don’t speak ‘church’. We offer family communion monthly and All Age services once a month. Worship is led by a worship band and we draw on other styles where it’s helpful. The key characteristic of all our worship is worshipping with integrity and joy. As mentioned above, we have groups running on most Sundays for Children and Youth.
Our parish of Torquay: St Mary Magdalene (Upton) is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO).
