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.

These events include a weekly Baby and Toddler Group, ‘Little Stars’, held every Thursday morning at 9:30am in the Penfold Hall or in church.

CHICHESTER DIOCESE: THE YEAR OF FAITH

2025 is the year of celebration of the Christian faith across Sussex. As the new liturgical year starts on Advent Sunday, our celebrations of the Year of Faith began on 1 December.

2025 marks the 950th anniversary of the formation of the Diocese of Chichester and Chichester Cathedral and 1700 years since the Nicene Creed first emerged. 

The diocese has set up a dedicated website giving information about, and links to, the events and celebrations which will form part of this special year.  

Our deanery, Storrington, held a special event on Wednesday 22 January, at Steyning Grammar School, with Bishop Ruth.

See our bishops in a video produced by the diocese of Chichester about the Year of Faith, Chichester 950.
