The tranquil village of Landkey is situated just three miles from the busy market town of Barnstaple in North Devon. With a growing population in excess of 2000, a strong sense of community exists within the village and, of this, the church is an important part. As well as offering regular Christian worship, the church provides valuable links to other areas of the community such as the local Primary School and the Mothers' Union.
St Paul's is a friendly church in which the Christian message is heard regularly by a congregation of around 25 worshippers. All are welcome to attend our services.

Changes to Services
From 1st September 2019, we will be making some changes to our services. The main change will be to the start time which will be at the slightly later time of 10:45am rather than the current start time of 10:30am.
We will also be holding a service of Morning Prayer on the third Sunday in the month rather than a service of Holy Communion by Extension.
These changes are being made, in part, to allow Revd Shaun to be able to recover from his recent period of poor health. They will enable the members of the clergy who will have responsibility for leading services in our Four Ways Mission Community, to be present as often as is possible in these churches, all of which are several miles from each other.
The later start time should make it easier for the member of clergy who leads a service at Swimbridge to then be present for the service in Landkey without having to hurry. This change will apply for a period of 4 months during which we will listen to the views of congregation members in order to assess whether the 10:45am start time makes any difference to the ease with which they can attend services.
There will be no change to the midweek Holy Communion service which will continue to start at 9:30am.
Whilst we have had to make changes to our Sunday services, churchgoers can be reassured that there will be no change to the warm welcome on offer at St Paul's!
