Welcome to St Devenick's Church

Church Administrator

Claudia does a brilliant job of channelling her Rector’s latest idea into some kind of practical outcome and handles her varied duties with calmness and aplomb.    With her husband Walter, who works for Shell, she has lived in Brunei and various other places and has two children, Katrin and Markus.   

We also have two church wardens: Ann Bale, the People’s Warden and Frank Dirr the Rector’s warden.  Between them they facilitate the smooth running of services on Sunday and communication between the congregation and the church leadership.   They are also part of the Ministry Team.

Vestry is the group of elected members, including a treasurer and secretary, who meet every six weeks and are ultimately responsible for the running of the church in support of the Rector.  Elected members serve for a three year term from the AGM which is held in early December.
