Lee Abbey Household

What are we?

The Lee Abbey Christian Community in Aston is a small group of Christians who choose to live together in a house in Albert Road. They are members of different churches and many different interests, but have a shared desire to make Jesus known through their relationships with people in Aston. They host an open evening with food and bible study on the first Tuesday of the month, but visitors are very welcome the rest of the time. They are always interested in people who’d like to join the community, so if joining interests you please follow this link to send Lee Abbey - Aston an email.

The small community here is run in partnership with local churches but is part of the wider Lee Abbey Movement, based in North Devon. To learn more about the Lee Abbey movement around the country, visit the Lee Abbey website and the Lee Abbey Households section for more specific information of their presence in Aston.

The Lee Abbey community in Devon is made up of around 70 Christians who are called by God, for different lengths of time, to the costly adventure of community living. Like the Aston household, they are called to be a worshipping, prophetic community, living out the Gospel and learning to serve each other and those whom God sends to them.
