off Lynch Head
Venn Ottery
Exeter
01404 814282
St. Gregory's is part of a welcoming parish family of all ages, aiming to share God's love with our community. Because of the small size of the building and its historic pews there are no facilities for children but we do welcome them to our services. Worship is a little more formal than at some of the services at St. John's. We hope that you will find here a spiritual home for offering worship to God and support and encouragement to grow in your Christian faith. Weekly homegroups in the parish meet on Tuesday afternoons and Thursday evenings - all welcome wherever you live or worship.
