Our Minister, Rev Martyn Smith
We offer you a warm welcome, whether this is your first experience of a Christian church or you have been a member of a church for
many years.
And if, like most people, you have questions and doubts, you will find here that we are all on a journey of faith.
Though we all experience joy and sadness, the church is a worshipping community in which we can share our successes and concerns and
offer support to one another. Churches in the Circuit are at St. Dominick, Stoke Climsland and Albaston, this church is also
known as Tamar Valley Methodist Church. The buildings at Callington date back to 1845 and the years have seen many changes,
particularly to the chapel itself. Our ancillary premises are well used both by church groups and outside organisations.

Although born in Surrey, at the age of two our family moved to North Staffordshire where my father took up the appointment as an Anglican
Rector, a role, that he had until retirement, thirty years later! I trained to be a teacher at St Luke's College, Exeter, where I
helped to lead a flourishing Christian Union. My first Job was at a North Devon boarding school for boys with emotional and
behavioural problems. I spent twenty years there as a full time teacher with responsibility for several sports. Having
felt God's call to offer myself, initially as a Local Preacher and subsequently for ministerial training with the Methodist
Church, I had my first appointment in 1997 as the assistant minister in the Saltash Circuit. Following a ten year stay
there, I joined the Callington & Gunnislake Circuit as Superintendent Minister, with pastoral responsibility for four congregations.
