Local Baptist churches
South Street Baptist Church
The University's Baptist Chaplain, the Rev'd Simon Taylor, is one of the minsters at South Street Baptist Church. The church meets every Sunday morning at 11am, to worship God and learn more about following Jesus today.
South Street Baptist Church offers a warm welcome to students and staff, irrespective of their faith or background. Together we aim to learn more about the God who is revealed to us in Jesus and discover the life God calls us to share. You are welcome to come along whether you are sure of your faith or whether you are simply full of questions.
The church also runs Dove Church, an informal service based around a meal (ask Simon for details).
The church has offered Christian witness, worship and care in Exeter city centre for more than three centuries. It seeks to be a welcoming and inclusive church with thoughtful worship which draws on the riches of different Christian traditions. In our preaching we seek to understand the relevance of the way of Christ to life today. Since 1979, it has also run the Palace Gate Centre, a community centre set up by the church in partnership with others to serve the needs of the city.
Our main service is at 11 am on a Sunday morning and is always followed by tea and coffee. We welcome students to simply come along or to become involved in the life of the church. Students have written for our church magazine, shared in leading worship and even interpreted the sermon when we had a preacher from the church we are linked with in Germany.
At South Street you can become part of a caring church family and get to know some Exeter folk. To learn more about South Street and see a diary of our activities, including events for students, please visit:
