Peverell Park and Pennycross Methodist Churches
As a result of the positive decision of both church councils at Pennycross and Peverell Park Methodist Churches, the Plymouth and Devonport Methodist Circuit set up an independently led Circuit Advisory Group (CAG) to consult on the possibility of a merger of the two churches on an existing or entirely new site, if one was identified. Both church councils agreed to 'carry out the full extent of the recommendations'.

Evidence was heard orally and through correspondence from interested parties from both churches and the wider community. Open meetings were held at both churches and engagement in the process was encouraged. The Circuit Advisory Group took evidence from church and community groups at both churches between January and June 2013. The CAG made its final set of recommendations at an open meeting held at Pennycross Methodist Church on 12 June 2013.

The recommendation was that Peverell Park Methodist Church should close and a new church be formed at Pennycross an alternative site having not been identified. The Plymouth and Devonport Circuit accepted this recommendation at its meeting at St Budeaux on 18 June 2013, as it was in line with the previous decisions of Peverell Park and Pennycross Church Councils. It is hoped that the newly formed church will flourish, providing a focus for Christian mission in the area and as a resource for the local community.

The Circuit Meeting and the CAG recognised that this decision will be very difficult for some in the Peverell area and also in the church,however, the best interests of the mission of the Methodist Church in this area of Plymouth is best served through the recommendation of the CAG.
