Welcome to Honiton Evangelical Congregational Church

 

We are a warm, Bible-believing family in the heart of Honiton, united by the glorious gospel of God’s free grace in Jesus Christ. If you long for a church that loves Scripture, treasures the doctrines of grace, and lives under the Lordship of Christ, you will feel at home here.

​

Who We Are

 

We stand in the historic stream of the Protestant Reformation, joyfully holding the Savoy Declaration of Faith and Order (1658) as our doctrinal standard alongside the Westminster Confession and the 1689 Baptist Confession.

 

We are unashamedly committed to the doctrines of grace

(Total Depravity · Unconditional Election · Definite Atonement · Irresistible Grace · Perseverance of the Saints)
because they most clearly display the sovereignty of God in salvation and give Him alone the glory.

 

We Belong to a Wider Family

​

Member church of the Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches (EFCC) – a UK family of over 100 independent Reformed evangelical churches sharing the same confessional convictions.

​

Baptism at HECC – A Dual-Practice Church

​

We gladly practise both believer’s baptism by immersion and infant baptism of children of believing parents, seeing both as biblical expressions of the one covenant of grace.
Whichever biblical conviction your conscience holds, you are warmly welcomed into full membership and fellowship. We rejoice in the unity of the gospel while allowing liberty on this matter.

​

What This Looks Like in Practice

​

• Expository preaching that opens God’s Word week by week

• Reverent, Christ-centred worship shaped by Scripture

• The Lord’s Supper celebrated regularly as a family meal

• Congregational government under Christ, served by elders

• Loving fellowship across the generations

​
