Hello and welcome
Welcome to the Parish of Goring-by-Sea, Worthing, West Sussex.
The parish hosts two Anglican churches; St. Mary's and St. Laurence's, and is home to nearly 8000 people.
Our church family is a lively and assorted community of people of various ages with a real desire to know God better and respond to his amazing love by serving our local community and beyond.
We strive to ‘grow a healthy church’ and would love to meet you.
You will be made most welcome.
- Father George (Vicar of Goring-by-Sea)
What's on?
Whether you’re new to the area or have lived here your entire life, everybody is welcome to join us in worship.
St. Mary’s is home to a broad range of regular paritioners from all walks of life, with diverse backgrounds and different cultures.
We would love to welcome you to the church so please feel free to simply “turn-up”.
If you let us know that you are new to the church, we’ll make sure that you get off to a good start.
As always, tea and biscuits will be served after the service where you can get to know your fellow paritioners.
A Simple Celtic Communion: The service will be a reflective and informal Communion Service lasting about 40 minutes with room for silence, contemplative music and most importantly the sacred space to listen to God and “unpack the week” in His presence.
