THE DART AND AVON MISSION COMMUNITY, formed in November 2018, consists of 7 Church of England churches in or near the Dart Valley and the Avon Valley in South Devon, (see map below).

 

We serve the two larger communities of Buckfastleigh (with St Luke's Church) and South Brent (with St Petroc's Church), together with the smaller communities of Dean Prior (St George the Martyr Church), Landscove (St Matthew's Church), Littlehempston (St John the Baptist Church), Rattery (Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary) and Staverton  

(St Paul de Leon Church).

 

We work together, seeking to bear witness to Jesus as Saviour and Lord and to provide centres of worship, love and service for our local communities.

 

We aim to provide a warm welcome to all who come to our churches, and we hope this website will give all the information you need, whether you are resident in this area or a visitor from further afield.
