Welcome
to Christians Together in Newton Abbot! While
the site's main function is to redirect you to individual church
communities, the opportunity will be taken to cover relevant issues and
events that affect all Christians.

All Saints Highweek C of E |
Historians will tell you that Newton Abbot is really two towns. Without going into that further, suffice it to say that the two C of E parishes of Highweek and Wolborough lie on the north and south banks respectively of the River Lemon that bisects the town. Furthermore each parish has sought to move more into the town during the Victorian era with St Paul's near the train station and St Mary, Abbotsbury relatively close to the market. | St
Paul's Wolborough C of E |
Keyberry
Park Methodist Church |
This has meant quite a diversity for the C of E with four buildings to maintain in the town instead typically of just one or maybe two. In addition the parish of Wolborough and the parish of Ogwell are linked together in one benefice. On this page you will see that there are several other Anglican churches within just a very few miles at Kingsteignton, Kingskerswell, Abbotskerswell and Milber, not necessarily part of CTNA. | St

On Saturday 16th April 2011 we had a record 20 attending! On 14th May 2011 & 14 January our Special Guest was our MP Anne-Marie Morris. Anne-Marie will be returning to Prayer Breakfast from time to time as her busy schedules permit. Next Prayer Breakfast Sat 14 Apr. | Quaker Meeting |
St
Joseph's RC Church |
Good
Friday Walk of Witness. This is certainly one of our biggest events
and all Christians are invited to participate. Typically we witness to
the events of 2,000 years ago in a procession through the town that may
pause at various stations along the way finally ending at one of our
churches for a service.
This year the service was hosted by St Paul's, Devon Square. Images below... |
Shaldon
Road Methodist Church |
St
Gregory's RC Church |
Lent Course and Lunches: The CTNA Lent Course in The Avenue Church attracted large numbers typically about 150; the Lent lunches also attract the usual following and raised around £5,000 which is exceptional. | The Salvation Army |
Cornerstone Fellowship |

This was a silent procession that led off from the ASDA car park. |
