St Mary is the parish church for High Bickington. We are part of the Two Rivers Mission Community; 11 churches situated between Barnstaple, Bideford and Great Torrington.

We gather for worship each week, sometimes with the Methodist church. We also run midweek activities to help people of all ages engage with God. These include a home group and youth group. We work closely with our church school; the clergy and an Open the Book team leading collective worship.

Our heart is to help people find a relationship with God through Jesus, and then put that faith into practice in their daily lives.

Please get in touch or join us for a Sunday service.
