Since its opening in 1888, St Andrew the Worthing has worshipped in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England. In the late 1800s, 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, in a Neo-Gothic style. We have an excellent collection of vestments and banners – some designed by Sir Ninian Comper. The real joy in our church 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 Church Hall is available for hire. It also provides a space for parish meetings and social events. Please email [email protected].
