Where do we start?! We are a growing and inclusive church family, signed up to "One Body One Faith". We are working hard to increase our "green" credentials, as a registered "Eco Church". We are a welcoming, friendly, Anglo-Catholic congregation. We are proudly part of the Inclusive Church Network. Our main Sunday service has traditionally been led musically by a robed choir. We are lucky to be able to meet in a wonderful Grade II* listed building, with acoustics described as rivalling those of the best opera houses, and windows described as excellent examples of twentieth century glass. And we have good heating, loos, baby-changing facilities, wheelchair-friendly access and sound/loop system! Come up and see us sometime... we think you'll want to stay! 

The parish of Upper St Leonards: St John the Evangelist is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). The Diocese of Chichester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services. Our Church's Safeguarding Officer may be reached on 07340 268598.
