Church of St Mary and St Gabriel
in the Totnes Mission Community
With its origins in the 13th century, our church has been at the centre of parish life for generations, providing a range of opportunities for worship, prayer and reflection, and remains a focal point in the 21st century. Our church aims to bring people together in fellowship, to provide care for the community, and to mark significant events in both individual and national life. We try to enable all members of the congregation to live out their faith in the living presence of Christ, supporting the day-to-day running of our church and various activities and events that are held throughout the year. As reflected throughout the parish, our church enjoys a warm sense of community.
We provide a regular pattern of services, including services of a quiet, reflective nature through to services with full choral settings. The church is open for visits and private prayer daily from about 9.00 am to 5.00 pm. It also maintains contact with the elderly, the lonely and the vulnerable, and, together with the wider community, provides help, support and care for our parish. If you or someone you know needs help, please contact the Associate Priest for the parish, Rev’d Chris Martin.

We are a community of Christian people whose ministry extends beyond regular attendance at church services into the wider community. Of paramount importance to our church life is the safeguarding of every individual, especially children and vulnerable adults. If you have a concern for yourself or another, please contact our Safeguarding Officer or the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser.
