St Gluvias is the historic Church of England parish
in the Anglican Diocese of Truro.

We are a living community, seeking to worship God and to grow in faith, serving the people of the parish and the wider world in the name of Jesus Christ.

We invite you to join us. We worship on Sundays at 10.00am and 6.00pm and, on the fourth Sunday of the month at 4.00pm, in our Tea-Time Service for all ages.

We serve refreshments in Church every Sunday after Parish Mass.

See our Church Diary page for details of Sunday worship and the Regular Worship page for weekday worship and other prayer and study resources. Check the Parish Notices below for any detailed changes.

St Gluvias is a member of Falmouth and Penryn Churches Together (FPCT). This is the latest edition of the regular FPCT Newsletter [download PDF file: 56kB].

Christian people have worshipped on this site since - and probably before - a church was dedicated on 25th July 1318 to St Gluvias the Martyr. It is our great delight to join with the whole people of God world-wide and through all ages in worshipping daily the One in whom we live and move and have our being.

THOUGHT:                  ‘How will I teach you the way of true peace and liberty?
                                   Be desirous to do the will of another rather than your own.
                                   Choose always to have less rather than more.
                                   Seek always the lowest place – and wish always
                                   and pray that the will of God may always be fulfilled in you.’.
