Truro is a delightful Cathedral City located in the County of Cornwall in the South West of England.

Cornwall is known as the 'Land of the Saints' and is steeped in Celtic Christian tradition. Christianity has flourished since early times and evidence of the ancient tradition can be found in the many parish churches which make up the Diocese of Truro which was founded in 1877. In 2002 the Diocese celebrated its 125th year of dedication.

Our two United Benefices are made up of four Parishes comprising St. Paul's, Truro, St. Clement, Truro, St. George the Martyr, Truro and St. John the Evangelist, Truro in the Diocese of Truro. Each is quite distinctive in its style of worship. To find out more click on the respective links in the menu under 'ourchurches'.

Sadly, St. Paul's Church, Agar Road, which has been a prominent and iconic Christian building in Truro for almost a century and a half, has had to close for health and safety reasons. The east end and tower of the church are in a precarious condition and threaten the safety of worshippers. The bishop has just licensed Archbishop Benson School hall as a Place of Worship in the Parish of St. Paul, Truro and this will become the focus for worship in the parish although the Christian community of St. Paul's elected to move to St. John's Church in Lemon Street and join with the Christian community there for worship.

Launched at Easter 2007 - Holy Commotion! meets on alternate Wednesdays at 6.30pm at Archbishop Benson CEVA School in the hall a half hour informal act of worship with songs, short prayer, a reading and lots of fun! Refreshments after. This is especially for children and young families who don't fancy "Sunday" Church but want to explore the Christian faith in a familiar and 'safe' environment! All welcome! We are also running an "Emmaus" course to run alongside "Holy Commotion!"

We hope that you will enjoy exploring our web site and ask for your prayers for the mission and ministry of the Church in Truro.
