Reverend Leigh Winsbury

A Warm Welcome Awaits …

Here at St. John’s we believe that God is at work, through the power of Jesus, to reconnect us with himself, with each other, and with creation.

In practice that will look a little different for everyone, and each one has their story to tell. To that end, we find that we are involved in all sorts of things in the hope of joining in with God’s plans to bless people with a whole and fruitful life. I invite you to have a ‘rummage around’ on this site to get a flavour of who we are, and what we do in Jesus’ name. Be blessed,

Revd, Leigh Winsbury.

Vicar of St John The Baptist C of E Church, Hatherleigh
