We’re really glad you’ve found us

Join us every Sunday at 10.30am

There are lots of churches in Worthing, and we hope you find one that feels like a good fit for you. We know we won’t be right for everyone, but many people who haven’t found what they’re looking for elsewhere have found something here that resonates. We often hear it feels like home.

We’re an inclusive, affirming community that values honesty, curiosity, and open conversation about life and faith. Many here are rethinking inherited beliefs, rediscovering faith, or exploring it for the first time.

If you join us on a Sunday, there’s no pressure. You’re free to come once, now and then, or as often as you like. You won’t be put on the spot. Come as you are, engage at your own pace, and stay for a coffee afterwards if you’d like.

We’re not a busy church, and we’re not flashy—but we try to be real, thoughtful, and kind. You’re very welcome here.

Our Values

Coming up this sunday…


….... we continue The Long Way Home, our series exploring The Odyssey alongside the stories and teachings of Jesus.

Part 2: Asleep to Being Away from Home

Last week we thought about Leaving Home. This week the journey continues as we think about what it means to become lost along the way — and particularly what happens when we don’t even realise that we’re lost.

Drawing on one of the more unusual healing stories of Jesus, where a man’s sight returns gradually, we’ll be exploring awakening: becoming more aware of ourselves, the patterns we can fall into, and learning to see more clearly. And, returning to Odysseus, what happens when the things we’ve always relied upon are no longer enough to get us where we want to go?

In the first part of the service, Mike will also be chatting with Ant, one of our trustees, about some of his own journey and what he has learned along the way — including some connections with this week’s theme.

Doors open at 10.00am
Service starts at 10.30am

And if you miss any part of the series, you can catch up there each week — the four parts overlap and build on one another.

And if you haven't already, why not start The Odyssey? You could read it, listen to an audiobook, or perhaps watch the new Movie. There are also older adaptations available free on YouTube.

This Sunday, the journey continues!
