East Wivelshire Deanery is a group of 32 churches and chapels in the Diocese of Truro and in the south-east corner of Cornwall. Each church has a distinctive heritage and identity and together we have a vision to be more fruitful and sustainable as we open our doors, serve our communities, make disciples and deepen our love for God and for all God’s children.
