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 10.00 a.m and 6.00 p.m and, on the fourth Sunday of the month at 4.00 p.m. also 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.

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.

Almighty God,
whose Son revealed in signs and miracles
the wonder of your saving presence:
renew your people with your heavenly grace,
and in all our weakness
sustain us by your mighty power;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen

Almighty God,
who caused the light of the gospel
to shine throughout the world
through the preaching of your servant Saint Paul:
grant that we who celebrate his wonderful conversion
may follow him in bearing witness to your truth;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
