Hemyock is the largest village in the Devon Blackdown Hills which has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) (www.hemyock.org). Situated between Honiton and Taunton, the village boasts a wide variety of clubs and organisations which give it a real sense of community.
Hemyock Baptist Church is a lively, community facing, all age fellowship, which was opened by Charles Spurgeon in 1865. HBC is led by an Eldership and Pastor with an emphasis on the broadest possible involvement of its people through teams ministry (e.g. Deacons, Outreach, Prayer, Youth & Children, Missionaries, Music, etc).
We reach out to our community with the message that God loves this world and this good news has come to us in Jesus Christ as defined in scripture. We are a Prayer Centre, praying faithfully according to God's word. We also seek to be an Equipping Centre to mobilize and train believers to fulfil their ministry in the Church and community and wider world. We are also a sending and giving Church seeking to meet the needs of believers in other countries.
HBC is a friendly group of fun loving people so come and visit us here on the Somerset/Devon border or send us an email.
