St Andrew the Apostle, Worthing

Getting here

There is a very warm welcome awaiting you at the Church of St. Andrew, here in Worthing.  Good preaching and good liturgy; user friendly Service Sheets containing all you need... no messing around with three books and  sheets of paper! and afterwards? Great coffee and a friendly bunch of people! 

Since its opening in 1888 St Andrew's has been in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England. In the late 1800's the very presence of "The Worthing Madonna" in the Lady chapel of St. Andrew's,  caused riots on the streets of Worthing. Thankfully, life is now more harmonious!  We still maintain our Catholic ethos using incense and colour in our worship of almighty God. We use a wide range of hymns in our worship too, reflecting the breadth of the Anglican tradition. 

The Church was designed by the noted Victorian architect, Sir Arthur Blomfield and is in a Gothic style. We have an excellent collection of vestments and banners – some designed by Sir Ninian Comper but its real joy is the gloriously rich array of stained glass by Charles Kempe. Every window is filled with his work and this sheds a wonderful light into the building. The choir screen with its Rood Screen above,  and the reredos behind the white marble high altar provide a splendid setting for the worship of Almighty God.

The entrance to the Church is off Clifton Road.   Please note , that while building works are underway next door to the Church, pedestrians may gain access to the Church via Clifton Road, although cars will need to approach by Elizabeth Road. 

Sunday: Sung Parish Mass at 10:30am, coffee and chat to follow.

Midweek:   Tuesday, Mass at 10:30am; Friday, Mass at  10:30am.
