Axmouth Church is part of the Axe Valley Mission Community (AVMC) a group of 8 local churches.
Axmouth Church seeks to be a blessing to the village of Axmouth and have an impact in the wider world.
We aim to do this through four areas:
1. Pastoral care - providing licensed and lay ministry, support and a listening ear for the bereaved, elderly, lonely and sick in our community (and the wider community). We also run a weekly Wednesday Get-Together and monthly Friendship Lunches.
2. Our Website, Facebook page and Parish magazine - serving the community by providing a forum for communication for the whole village.
3. Making Waves - raising money to support Axmouth's adopted charities: currently SEAN, a worldwide ministry founded many years ago in Axmouth which trains and equips people in Christian Ministry across the world; Restore, the Exeter charity that helps rehabilitate victims of modern slavery; and Partners in Progress in Nepal, an education and community development project with which we have a local connection.
4. The Church Building - maintaining and developing this 11th Century building as a place of peace and prayer.
