Barnstaple Street Pastors
Barnstaple Street Pastors have been patrolling since October 2009. In that time we have seen the Lord Jesus prove his faithfulness week after week in response to his call on our lives and the prayers of his people.
We regard Street Pastors primarily as a prayer ministry with the blue uniforms on the street serving as the eyes and ears (as well as the hands and feet) of the local church, passing needs back to the prayer team where the real work is done.
It is a wonderful honour to be called to represent Christ and watch him at work in our town.
Freedom Community Alliance
They are a Christian charity outworking the vision of Freedom Church to help those who are marginalised and socially excluded, demonstrating the heart and love of God in our community.
They operate an open access Day Centre and supported housing accommodation in Barnstaple and a Therapeutic Community addressing drug and alcohol addiction near Lynton.
Neighbourhood Chaplains
Neigbourhood Chaplains helps tackle loneliness through befriending, and offer practical help towards meeting our neighbour’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

Community Christmas
Christmas is a season for kindness. A time to offer a fresh message of hope to those in need. Through Community Christmas, we can connect with our community, bring comfort as we reach out and share gifts of kindness with those around us. We aim to inspire a contagious culture of kindness. And let people know that we are with them and they are not alone.
This includes
- hosting a Community Christmas Day Lunch with help from other church’s volunteers and local businesses and organisations.
- Christmas Eve boxes to the children and gifts to the mums at the women’s refuge. North Devon Against Domestic Abuse’s aim is to help keep families safe. They provide temporary refuge to women and children who have suffered domestic abuse.
- North Devon Hospice Light up a Life Carol Service. This gives you an opportunity to remember someone special this Christmas. They do not have to have been cared for by the hospice for you to make a dedication in their honour.
