Who we are
Southernhay Church is a United Reformed Church, embracing diverse traditions including Congregational, Presbyterian and Churches of Christ (Disciples). We are in Exeter city centre, next to the Civic Centre, Tourist office and the Princesshay Quarter. We are progressive (affiliated to the Progressive Christianity Network), intentionally inclusive, open and affirming. We welcome all who are searching for meaning in life, regardless of race, colour, age, gender, sexual orientation or state of health.
We welcome enquiries about weddings and blessings of civil partnerships.
We base our faith on the teaching of the Bible and subsequent experiences of God by those who follow Jesus. We recognise the Bible as a cradle of divine revelation. It was written over a period of hundreds of years by individuals and communities trying to express their ideas of God within the understandings and cultures of their times. We believe it is our task to interpret these writings for our own day and age. Above all, we seek to follow the Way of Jesus, the 'Word made flesh'. Our attempts to understand God are not static but continually evolving. We may explore answers to life's questions – but none of us can claim to do more than offer our own experience of God as an aid to that exploration. Sometimes we have to learn to live with our questions but we believe our faith develops as we deal with anxiety and doubt.
We are on a spiritual journey. Wherever you are on yours, you are welcome at Southernhay!
