Who we are
We are a rural church of some 13 members and are part of the group of South West Congregational Churches. The Church is run independently and decisions are made at a meeting of members.
The Congregational Federation based in Nottingham offers ministerial training facilities, deals with "Safe from Harm" policies for children under 18 years and vulnerable adults, guide lines for fees, financial help for churches and details of missionary work and much more. All information is found in the Federation’s Annual Year Book. Each year, the new President of the Federation visits many of the Congregational Churches and receives a warm welcome at each one. Area representatives bring back news from Federation’s Council meetings for discussion at the SW Area Churches quarterly meetings.

Ide Congregational Church History
IN THE BEGINNING the first Congregational Service was held in 1864 at Exeter House, 14 Fore Street, Ide in what became known as the ‘Upper Room’. Sunday services, the Lord’s Supper and a weekly Prayer Meeting was held on Tuesday evenings until it was felt a more permanent place of worship should be found. The church was built in 1883. John Webber paid for the site and contributed towards the cost of the building. See the Foundation Stone set in the front wall of the Church - or Chapel, as it is sometimes known locally.
On 15 October 1971 it was decided by a majority of members not to become a United Reform Church but to remain in the Congregational fold.

I want Thy plan, O God
I want Thy plan, O God, for my life. May I be happy and contented whether in the homeland or on the foreign field; whether married or alone, in happiness or sorrow, health or sickness, prosperity or adversity - I want Thy plan, O God, for my life. I want it; oh, I want it.
