Welcome to MC Family. Dawlish, UK

A community where faith  and family come together.

“Come follow me, Jesus said, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Mark - 1:17

Family Meals and Parties

We come together regularly for worship, fellowship, and sharing life. These gatherings help us strengthen our bonds and grow in faith.

Serving Our Community

We engage in various projects to support those in most need in our local community, working collaboratively to make a real difference.

DNA (Discover, Nurture, Act) Groups

Our DNA groups provide a space for deeper learning and real spiritual growth. We regularly meet in gender-sensitive groups to understand the Bible in our heads, help each other believe its truth in our hearts, and hold each other to account to live it all out in our daily lives.

Family Activities

In addition to eating together regularly, we do all the things that a healthy family does, including sharing in a wide range of fun and engaging activities, such picnics, game nights, trips and outings. These help build a real sense of belonging through shared memories, simple joy and healthy banter.

Missional Leaders

Together we have grown this missional community over recent years, having felt God's calling and direction in our lives to lead a family on mission together in the heart of our local community.

Our Vision

Our vision is to continue building a strong, supportive missional community where everyone feels valued and accepted. We hope to help and reach more people through acts of service, and radically inclusive community.
