What? Connect is a voluntary, cross-denominational, Christian youth work, based in Crediton, Chulmleigh and Okehampton. Its an exiting project that provides the church a chance to serve the schools and show commitment to our communities.

  • Why? Connect began out of a need local churches felt to reach out to young people in school, meeting them where they are. Our aims are to:
  • demonstrate Christ's love for young people;
  • offer support on behalf of Mid-Devon's churches to each Community College in each area in developing young people mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually and socially;
  • encourage young people to work out, own, and stand for their Christian faith among their peers, in their school and community
  • For this year in Okehampton, the worker is:


West Devon Methodist Circuit

Kevin Down:  "I am a JNC qualified youth worker after studying at degree level with Oxford Brookes. With eight years of youth work experience in and out of schools, I am employed as the West Devon Methodist Circuit youth worker in the surrounding area of Okehampton. With a personal understanding of dyslexia and not fully enjoying my schooling I wish to support students with their academic studies and achieve a full and exciting life in school and out with the added joy of John 10:10 to boot!"
