Thank you for visiting our website. St Olaf's Parish Church near Bude, in the centre of Poughill, EX23 9ER. There is some roadside parking outside the church, and down Northcott Mouth Road (below the church on Bude's side) a couple of hundred yards on the right is a free car park.

Sunday morning services on are at 10.00 and we have Sunday Club for children in our Church Hall across the road from the church. We are always pleased to welcome visitors, both adults and children, and parents are very welcome to stay with any little ones who might find it hard to settle.

We love meeting new people, so please stay on after the service to chat over coffee. Anyone new to the area will discover we are a friendly group of people.

We are a church that is following Jesus, working to make Him known to others through our life and work. It's what the church was made for, and we try to share the gospel (the good news about Jesus) through everything we say and do. It's why we meet together, pray together, worship together and serve together - we are always trying to share the story of Jesus with others, those who live in our community and those who visit us. We're not perfect, but we are enjoying the journey together.   We look forward to meeting you.
