The new owners of Budleigh church on the Green are holding their inaugural service next month. 

The first public service under the new occupancy is due to take place at 6.30pm on Sunday, 2nd October at the Church on the Green Budleigh Salterton.  

In January, Scott Drive Church in Exmouth took over the building. The previous congregation, under Pastor John Heavens, had decided that, for various reasons, they could no longer continue meeting together, and was on the lookout for a suitable local Christian fellowship to take over the building. 

Scott Drive Church in Exmouth was chosen, and although at present there is just one congregation, Scott Drive Church's long-term aim is to re-establish The Church on the Green as an independent evangelical fellowship. 

Pastor Lee Emerson said: “We do invite anyone who would like to visit us to come along to join us.”
