The Waterside Benefice - St John & St Petroc, Devoran

Devoran has a small congregation of regular elderly attendees but a huge sense of inclusion for all ages and a strong enthusiasm to involve the community. Our Parish Centre is attached to the church and used for church and community activities, and we have good communication with the local school. The village hall provides the venue for Waterside Tots and Toys and Messy church. Devoran Church and other volunteers from across the benefice provide the support to run these. We also have a coffee morning every other Tuesday and several clubs and events that run throughout the year.

We are a welcoming and inclusive church community which is enthusiastic to work with our new priest and the Waterside Benefice in achieving our common goals and developing our faith. We look forward to further sharing our ideas and events with the other churches in the Benefice. Most of all we anticipate the arrival of a priest in charge to guide us in our Christian faith and to promote the growth of the churches together. Our future aspirations include a need for pastoral care, growing our faith and developing discipleship within our congregation. Increasing our engagement and presence in the community is a priority, especially with families as there are many in the area. We hope that a new priest will bring energy and engagement to enable our church to grow in the future.
