St Edward's Church, Eggbuckland, Plymouth

Welcome to St Eddy's!

St Edward’s is a beautiful church, with a cherished bell tower, that has been serving the parish for over 1000 years. (Add booklet) In addition to our regular services there is a space set aside for prayer and reflection. Because of its beauty and history, it is a place that people return to for Christenings, Weddings and Funerals and is an embedded part of the community.

Our Church Hall was for the most part built by the people of Eggbuckland and alongside our regular services we offer a range of activities through the week and partner with others to offer more.

Christ Church, Estover

Welcome To Christ Church!

Christ Church was initially established as a Local Ecumenical Partnership (LEP) in the 1980s and is located next to the Elm Centre and Wellbeing Hub in Estover. We continue to share our building with Missio as Gentes - a Roman Catholic Community and our services and activities reflect our commitment to working with other denominations. We currently partner with Plymouth Youth for Christ of offer a Monday night youth group, and the Pursue Network as we establish our monthly contemporary evening service.

Christ Church is a distinctive modern building with a smaller hall and servery which makes it ideal for smaller community groups through the week. It has a distinctive side chapel which included a bespoke stained-glass window made by the monks of Buckfast Abbey. The chapel is used as a permanent place of prayer.
