The Parish of St Mary's & St Laurence's Goring-by-Sea, West Sussex.

Set to the West of Worthing, we serve a parish of 7,800 people.

There is a wide variety of worship styles - from said Book of Common Prayer to Choral Evensong, Sung Eucharist to Family & Parade Services with the Music Group.

Work with children & young people is a priority, with everything from pre-school Parent & Toddler groups through to post-school youth groups.

We have strong links with the two church schools in the parish, Goring First (Aided) and West Park First & Middle (Controlled).

Above all, we are passionate about serving God through this community - and strive to 'Grow A Healthy Church'.
