Exeter Partner Evening

We’re excited to invite you to join the directors, Graham and Keith, and Christian in Sport staff for an evening together as we share our unchanging vision to reach the world of sport for Christ and delve deeper into future plans.

The evening will consist of short presentations from the Christians in Sport team, which will give you an opportunity to hear what God is doing through this work across the UK and around the world. It will also be a time to hear from the Bible and pray with each other as we give thanks to God for what he’s doing.

Whether you are new to the work of Christians in Sport or not, we would love you to be there along with others who enable the work through prayer, service and giving.

DIRECTIONS

The church is at the Topsham road about 5 or 10 minutes walk from the city centre. If you are on foot then it's an easy drop down to the river and from there a it's very short stroll up to the Quay.

BY BUS

Several buses pass the church including K (Pinhoe - City Centre - Countess Wear), T (as K but extended from Countess Wear to Topsham), R (City Centre, Heavitree, Burnthouse Lane, Topsham Road clockwise circle) and S (City Centre, Topsham Road, Burnthouse Lane, Heavitree anti-clockwise circle).

Buses from further afield (e.g. 2, 39, 57, X38 and X46) turn off the Topsham Road into Barrack Road. So get off at the first stop after the turning, walk back to Topsham Road, turn right and walk for 5-8 mins to the church which is on your left.

BY TRAIN

Exeter Central is the nearest station. Come out of the station by the station buildings, turn left then after 200m turn right into the High Street, then after another 200m turn left at the crossroads into South Street. At this point you can catch a K, S or T bus to St Leonard's or just continue walking for another 7 - 10 minutes down South Street straight over the Junction, down Holloway Street then up the hill and St Leonard's is on your right.

Exeter St. David's - catch bus H to the City Centre (beware that buses in both directions use the same stop - you want one that is NOT going to Cowley Bridge). Get off just after Exeter Central Station and follow the directions above.

BY CAR

Follow the road round to the right and head down towards Holloway Street (signposted Topsham). Follow this road down the hill, where becomes Topsham Road. St Leonard's church is just up the other side of the dip on the right hand side.
