More ImagesWelcome to the website for St Paul's Church, the Church of England church for the parish of Landkey.
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.
Coronavirus and beyond
Suspension of services
Following the imposition of the current lockdown, we have taken the decision to suspend the holding of services. While churches are allowed to open for public worship under the terms of this lockdown, we feel that it would be sensible to avoid bringing people together until the pandemic is more under control.
The church will be open for private prayer by arrangement. If you would like to arrange an opening, please phone either Hazel Price on 01271 831259 or Margaret Perryman on 01271 831534.
We held our first Zoom service on 17th January and it seemed to be appreciated by those who joined in. More on that in the news article below.
We plan to hold our service on 24th January in the same way. If you would like to take part, please send Revd Shaun an email via the link below to obtain the joining information.

Online services via Zoom have begun!
We held our first online service via Zoom on Sunday 17th January and it proved to be a success. Despite initial technological "teething" issues, it was joined by 11 households who were able to follow the Communion service led by Revd David Chance. It was surprising how noticeable the sense of communal worship was by comparison with simply watching online. We intend to offer Zoom servcies for the foreseeable future.
