Welcome to Steyning Parish Church
Join us at St Andrew’s and St Cuthman’s
All are welcome to our ancient Parish Church. Our mission for hundreds of years has been to help the people of Steyning to know, love and follow Jesus in their everyday lives, and to support their pastoral needs as they observe rites of passage, such as baptisms, weddings and funerals. Today, we are an inclusive Christian community, welcoming everybody regardless of gender, age, social background, ethnicity, sexual orientation or disability.

About us
Our building
Our notable Norman church building is usually open every day – or you can click on the photograph of our reredos below to see a 360-degree online panorama of the inside of our building and its interior lighting. Nowadays our church is dedicated to two patron saints: St Andrew the Apostle, one of Jesus’ first disciples, and St Cuthman of Steyning, the renowned builder of the first Saxon wooden church on this site.

What's happening at Steyning Parish Church
GOOD GRIEF CAFÉ – Starts on Friday 8 November
Remembrance Sunday: 10 November 2024
Our annual service of remembrance for the fallen in two World Wars and subsequent conflicts takes place this year on Sunday 10 November at 10:45am. All are welcome to attend. There will be a two minute silence at 11am. Wreaths will be laid at the war memorial in church, the Last Post and Reveille will be sounded and the names on the memorial read out. Please join us in singing the patriotic hymns and praying for peace in our world.
The usual Act of Remembrance will take place on Armistice Day (Monday 11 November) at the Memorial Garden.
Some of our vicars are missing…
Saturday 30 November – New date
No, not another bookshop crime writers’ event, but a fascinating presentation from the Friends of Steyning Parish Church, on Saturday 30 November (St Andrew’s Day), starting at 4pm in church. This free event, with a refreshment break, reveals the results of meticulous research by the Friends and Steyning Museum that found some of the names on our vicars’ board were not vicars of Steyning at all, while some ‘genuine’ vicars were missing from the list.
The AGM of the Friends, which was originally scheduled for the same eveinng as the Vicars’ talk, will now be held on Monday 18 November, at 2pm, at Rosebank, Jarvis Lane, BN44 3GL.
