Emmanuel Church is part of the Ilfracombe and Barnstaple Methodist Circuit which as a pastorate includes the Methodists Church at Combe Martin and the Methodists at Lynton, who worship at the United Reformed Church there. Until 28th June, the Methodist Church at Woolacombe was also part of the pastorate but this church has now sadly been closed. The circuit is part of the Plymouth and Exeter district.
We are also part of the South Western Synod of the United Reformed Church. This is a group of local churches which includes the United Reformed Churches at Barnstaple, Bickington, Bideford, Braunton, Bude, and Lynton. Since 7th November 2009, Muddiford URC has also become a member of the pastorate and Barbara became it's minister. It will however not be part of the Methodist circuit.
