Welcome to the Parish of St. Andrew, Tywardreath in the Anglican Diocese of Truro. The parish descends from a board catholic tradition with vestments and reservation. We aim to be an inclusive Church at St Andrew's and have found new ways to embody the shared life of the community, including support for the activities of the Village Hall. We organise social events to consolidate the support of those already active in Church life as well as to nurture those not yet fully involved. We seek to witness the embodiment of the risen Christ in the community of Tywardreath and to lead all to Christ through Church contact.
