The churchwardens from each parish meet quarterly with our Vicar, to plan the service schedule and to encourage collectiveness. Each parish puts their own needs forward but always with an understanding that we must do the best for the tripartite group and not necessarily what is best for one. This works extremely well and demonstrates the closeness between the parishes.
Across the three parishes we aim to offer different styles of worship at different times, giving everyone the opportunity to enjoy and experience a variety of Anglican worship and to find a style and time that they find most suited to their needs. In some respects we work as a single parish with three churches whilst retaining our own individuality.

The PCC (Parochial Church Council) takes the lead in carrying out the mission of the church – the whole church. Working alongside and supporting the clergy, pastoral care, telling the story of faith, social action and co-operation with churches of other denominations all fall within its remit. In many ways it is the PCC that shapes the health of the church.
Feniton, Escot and Payhembury each have their own PCC. Details of these are given in the relevant section here.

OTTER VALE MISSION COMMUNITY MISSION ACTION PLAN as at July 2012 : NOTES
THE UNDERLYING AIM OF THE OTTER VALE MISSION COMMUNITY is to support each parish church, and each of our church schools, to grow in, and share their faith in Christ.
THE SIX HEADINGS – PRAYER, WORSHIP, DISCIPLESHIP, TRAINING, COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND MISSION – and the shared aims listed under each on the grid were suggested by the MC staff and introduced to all congregations as part of the MOiMM process, followed by opportunities for discussion and feedback. These were then agreed by each PCC. Each church was then asked to interpret the general plan in the light of its own situation, identifying particular needs and priorities. It was made clear that not every church will necessarily feel that it has priority action points under every heading, and that those identified may well change on review. For many of the smaller churches, action may consist of publicising provision at neighbouring churches.
