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.

Coming up this sunday…


….... an old friend of Mike (our minister) and Kate’s from their ‘UBBC’ days, Mike Dillamore, will be preaching on “Wrestling with the Prodigal: thoughts on how Jesus' words can always teach us something new about God's love.”  

During the first part of the service, Mike will be interviewed by Freda (one of our deacons), sharing something of his own journey of faith and, in particular, the significant deconstruction and reconstruction of faith he experienced during the Covid pandemic and in the years.  

He has been part of the leadership team at The Hub (formerly Upper Beeding Baptist Church (UBBC)) for a number of years.

                  (The service is not being livestreamed)

Then on Sunday 27 September – Zeus or Jesus? What Kind of God Do We Believe In?

Following on from our recent series, Mike (our minister) is going to spend one more Sunday exploring a question that recurred throughout our journey through The Odyssey: what is the difference between the Greek gods and the God we encounter in Jesus?

Together we’ll think about how our understanding of God can sometimes still be shaped by ideas of power, anger, punishment and control, and what it means to see God — and to read the whole of the Bible — through the lens of Jesus.

(The service will be livestreamed on the Worthing Baptist Church YouTube Channel).

Doors open for our services at 10am and the service starts at 10:30am
