Grosvenor Covid-19 Update
The church elders met this morning the 17th March to respond to the latest Government guidelines to “avoid gatherings” and we have prayerfully decided on the following action points:
- We will have no public service this Sunday 22nd March at the Plough, Bideford College or Old Station Road. Instead, each site will provide an online message available via the internet (details will be sent out on Friday).
- We recommend that Family groups cease meeting face to face. We will consult with Family group leaders as to how each group can support each other.
- All church events and activities in all three congregations will cease forthwith until Monday 13 April, when it will be reviewed. This will include the hiring of the Old Station Road building.
We are actively exploring ways in which we can support the church and the public pastorally and will send out details as soon as we can put these measures in place. In the meantime please look out for those who are connected to you, being especially mindful of the elderly and vulnerable.
The current situation is unprecedented for all of us and we need each other more than ever. So let us continue to trust God, support one another in prayer and, where possible, practically. Let us also look for ways of being salt and light in our community and seize this unique opportunity to bring hope to a worried world.
With our love,
The Elders

A BIT ABOUT US
The Grosvenor congregations dotted across North Devon have a different heart and vision for Church. We are a group of people from all walks of life determined to be a Church without walls. Which is why you can ‘come as you are’. Our aim is for nobody to stand alone, therefore we work hard to ensure a transparent, loving, genuine community.
This environment isn’t man made – it comes from Jesus
WE LOVE NORTH DEVON
We want to genuinely care for and build positive, vibrant neighbourhoods, which is the reason we are launching new congregations across the region, to meet the needs of North Devon communities.
WE BELIEVE
In one God; the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the one true God who lives eternally in three persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
The Bible is inspired by God and entirely trustworthy.
We believe in the divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God-fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
That Jesus’ death is the only basis for salvation.
The Son of God (Jesus) was born to become a sacrifice for mankind’s sin and His death is the only basis for salvation from the guilt, power and eternal consequences of sin.
In the work of the Holy Spirit in saving us and changing us.
The Holy Spirit shows us the truth, brings about new birth, comes to dwell in us and makes us holy (like Jesus).
All followers of Jesus form the worldwide church.
The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers – given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit’s gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.
In His command to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world.
Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorised and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.”
That Jesus Christ will return visibly to earth as Lord in power and glory.
We believe in the personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.
