St Peter's Port Isaac

Welcome to St Peter's at Port Isaac

The delightful fishing village of Port Isaac was part of St Endellion parish until a hundred years ago.  It was so much a Methodist village that John Wesley described it as “the liveliest place in the [Methodist] circuit”.  And then in 1913 Port Isaac gained its first Vicar and St Peter’s, which was still fairly new and had been a C of E chapel since only 1884, became a parish church.

Now, sadly, the two Methodist churches have closed and St Peter’s itself is home to just a small congregation.  But...  people love to join us... at least from time to time, or on holiday.  And there are members of other churches in our cluster who say “I just love going to St Peter’s.”  Indeed, the villagers themselves may not be frequent worshippers but they are all friendly and supportive of the church and its work.

I asked our church council (PCC) what to say on the website, and they replied:

“Tell them we would love to see them!”
“Tell them about the community exhibition area that’s going to be in church!”
“And the Christmas tree festival!”
"Tell them the Fishermen's Friends have just won a contract with Abbey Road!"
“And the Frank McNichol mural all over the back wall!”
“And have a photo of Francis lighting a candle!”
“I would like a view of the harbour.”
“As long as you don’t mention Doc Martin!”

We have Holy Communion services every Sunday morning in St Peter’s at 9.45am.  Do come and join us: just a few people and the innumerable host of heaven!
