OUR activitIES
Regular services
Sundays
We meet for our main worship services at 10.30 am & 2.00 pm on Sundays at Trelander Community Hall.
We aim to worship our great God with both reverence and joy, and our services include a mix of the best worship songs, old and new.
Our services are easy to follow and full of the Bible and of Christ, and we are keen to listen to preaching that clearly unpacks the Bible and carefully applies it to our everyday lives. In our afternoon service we split into small groups for interactive Bible study.
Space is available for parents with young children to sit and listen to the morning service while their children play. During the afternoon service there is a Sunday school for children of primary school age, with Bible stories and fun activities.
Every Sunday we enjoy lunch together between the services, as a family united in Christ. We bring our own lunch, but there's always plenty spare for visitors!
On the first Sunday of the month our 2 pm service takes a more informal style, with opportunities for others to share of their own dealings with God, and to ask questions (grill the pastor!).
Midweek meetings
We meet alternately for prayer and Bible study at 7.30 - 9.00 pm on Tuesdays in a local home (contact for details).
Our Bible studies are thought-provoking interactive discussions, where we aim to apply Sunday's message to us more deeply.
other regular activities
Truro Evangelical Church exists to glorify God by worshipping and serving him, loving one another and making him known.
We have a variety of activities in our church life. We aim to care for those who join us, with different opportunities for meeting up through the month. We are also eager to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to those who have not yet discovered his life-transforming power for themselves; check out our courses if you would like to discover more.
City-centre outreach
Every week (weather-dependent) a team of us head out into the city-centre with our flag and literature stall, in the middle of the piazza at Lemon Quay. We have a variety of free leaflets and books about the Christian faith, and give out our own specially designed leaflets to as many people as will receive them. Our aim is specifically to tell people the good news of Jesus, and to encourage them to turn to him for forgiveness and everlasting life.
Every Wednesday, 10.30 am – 3.30 pm
Coffee club
Once a month, on Thursday mornings, we have an informal get-together at a local café, for all who are available. A chance just to relax in comfy chairs, enjoy a coffee and natter!
Every 1st Thursday, 11 am – 12 pm
Spires Coffee Bar, Haven House (city centre)
Men's & Ladies' breakfasts
Once a month the men of the church meet together for a hearty breakfast (no calories spared!) followed by a Bible-based study and prayer, in a local home. At the same time the ladies meet in a different location for the same purpose, but watching their figures!
First Saturday of the month 8.30 – 10.00 am
Fellowship lunch
Once a month we have an informal lunch in a local home, as a relaxed get-together, and an opportunity for friends and acquaintances to come and meet some of the church folk. We conclude with a brief, thought-provoking talk on some topical affair.
Every last Friday, 12.30 – 2.30 pm
Ladies' prayer meeting
Once a month the ladies of the church meet together for coffee and prayer, in the comfort of a local home.
Every 3rd Thursday, 10.30 am – 12.00 pm
Serving the community
As followers of Jesus, we want to share what we have with those in need, and help those in Truro who are struggling financially. So once a month we take a collection of food and other household goods from the church and donate to Truro Food Bank.
Second Sunday of the month
Gospel partnership in St Just
In partnership with St Just Free Church (near Lands End), we run our literature table in St Just town centre once a month, to engage locals with the gospel of Jesus, and encourage them along to the Free Church.
Tuesdays, 10.30 am - 2.30 pm
On the first Sunday of the month, 2-3.10 pm, we run 'Connect', a fun club for children, school years 4-7, to learn more about the good news of Jesus, and the amazing difference he can make to our lives. Contact for further details and to enrol your child.
