Shaken … but not stirred
The world is gripped by fear. The escalation of this pandemic is frightening even the strongest, unable to control or channel where it is taking us. John Gray in The New Statesman writes “This is not a temporary rupture in an otherwise stable equilibrium: the crisis through which we are living is a turning point in history.” The question is: Which way will we turn?
God predicted in the Bible that one day he would “shake all nations”. That is happening. We can turn to panic and fear or we can turn towards his “kingdom that cannot be shaken”; the refuge where we find freedom from fear and abiding peace. If you are fearful and want to find this peace, why not connect with us by emailing welcome@

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.
