St Paul's Chichester

St Paul’s is an open-minded community of faith, and our life together is centred on the main Sunday Eucharist at 10am. The church itself is light and spacious, and our worship is enhanced by a superb choir of both adults and children. During the Eucharist our thriving Sunday School meets in the adjacent parish centre, and we are proud that our congregation includes a wide age span, from nine months to ninety (plus) years. We value both traditional and modern hymns, thoughtful preaching and the resources of Common Worship. The laying-on of hands for healing is always available at the end of the service.

We strongly affirm the ordained ministry of women, and try to ensure that our life together is an expression of God’s generous and inclusive love.
