https://www.torridgeteamchurches.org.uk/welcome.htm

All Saints is a large church in a typically rural community serving the communities of Langtree and Stibb Cross and their localities. Though the congregation is relatively small, we are active. Worship is maintained on a regular basis, and pastoral care extended to all who seek it in the surrounding area. In this we work with our Methodist friends and the neighbouring Anglican churches. With the support of an active Friends group, the church building and grounds are cared for as best they can be.

Unusually the church clock face is the local War Memorial.

Bellringing has recently been revived in the church. A new family service is being established.
