Welcome to the Website of the Methodist Circuit in Torbay, Devon

​God is our refuge and strength,  an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way  and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,  I will be exalted in the earth.”
(Psalm 46:1-3, 6, 10)

What do we Believe?

Along with most other denominations, the Methodist Church follows the traditional Christian creeds and more information about the Methodist Church of Great Britain and its history can be found on the national website linked below. 
A question that we are often asked is 'what's different about the Methodist Church?'  and perhaps a simple answer is we stress personal faith. This means that we want what we believe to be relevant and make a difference in the lives of ordinary people.
