The Church is here for everyone, and the relationship between Church and state in this country means that everyone who lives in our area has a parish church. So even if you are not a regular churchgoer, if you live within the East Downland Benefice - welcome! We are here for you.

Many people turn to the Church at significant milestones in their life. Whether that is a happy event – such as a wedding or the birth of a child – or a sad one such as the death of a loved friend or family member, we’re here to help.
