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.

  • "...this church just feels 'right' and I feel at home. I have a heart for inclusion and love the example of acceptance and inclusion shown by the leadership."

    Liz

  • "We love our church as no matter the season in our lives (me and my kids), we always feel loved and accepted by our church family."

    Tash

  • "I love the honesty and openness of the members."

    Sharry

  • "I love WBCh because it's the most inclusive church and I feel accepted not judged, loved, and supported by all. I feel we're all God's kids and all have a right to be here."

Coming up this sunday…


……our service will be a little shorter than usual, although we’ll still begin at 10.30am.

We’ll share a few songs and a short reflection on who we are together as a church. We’ll then stay in the sanctuary for a little longer for a slightly different kind of church members’ meeting, open to everyone who would like to stay. Together, we’ll explore and remind ourselves of what it means to be a Baptist church member, something of our own church’s culture and values, and a few other matters relating to our life together.

Everyone is welcome to stay for the whole of this, whether you’re already a church member, considering membership, or simply interested in finding out more about what it involves. It may be a helpful reminder for some and an opportunity for others to gain a better understanding of who we are and what matters to us. It will be an informal time of listening and reflection, rather than discussion or decision-making, so there’s no expectation for anyone to speak.

We’ll finish everything together at around our usual time of 11.30am, followed, as always, by coffee and other hot drinks for anyone who would like to stay.

(The picture shows two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle given out to everyone at our Covenant Service earlier this year. One was taken home as a reminder that together we are part of something bigger than ourselves. The other was pinned to the cross as an act of recommitment to one another and to journeying with God together. When all the pieces are joined, they form the stained-glass image in our sanctuary).

Please note that the morning is not being live-streamed this week.
