Welcome
We’re so glad you’re here!
We’re delighted to welcome you to Chichester Baptist Church. Whether you’re new to the area, exploring the Christian faith, looking to join the community, get involved, or just browsing, we’re so glad you’re here.
Who are we?
At Chichester Baptist Church, we’re a welcoming,cross-generational, Spirit-filled and Bible based church in the heart of historic Chichester.
We’re people with real stories and real questions, seeking to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ through compassion, hope and love.
Whether you’re exploring faith or deepening your journey, you’re invited to join us in worship, service and friendship.
Sunday Services
We have two Sunday services at Chichester Baptist Church.
At 10am we have a family friendly morning congregation with contemporary worship and practical Bible based teaching. The morning service offers children and youth groups from creche up to school years 11. A chance to catch up with friends and a coffee after the service is a great way to meet people and explore other groups and events going on in the life of the church.
At 6:30pm we have a smaller congregation with the same style of worship and teaching, again coffee and tea are provided and prayer is available at both services for anyone who would like to pray with someone.
Alternative Gatherings
We love our Sunday services in the building and want them to be accessible and relevant—but church life isn’t limited to a church building.
Our alternative gatherings are monthly, small, community-based gatherings led by people from Chichester Baptist Church. They happen in different locations and are shaped around specific people, places, or needs. Rather than one big service, they’re relaxed spaces to meet, talk, and explore faith together in a more informal setting.
Children and Youth
Families are at the heart of our church, and we are passionate about helping children and young people discover what it means to commit to and become more like Jesus.
On Sundays, our children and youth are divided into six age groups, with engaging and age-appropriate activities for every stage. We also aim to provide additional support for those who may benefit from alternative environments or extra assistance, helping everyone feel welcome and included.
And it’s not just about Sundays! Throughout the week, we offer a variety of groups and activities, from discipleship opportunities to our Friday Night Youth Groups and much more.
None of this would be possible without our fantastic team of volunteers. Every member of our team completes an application process and enhanced DBS check. We are incredibly grateful for their commitment, care, and dedication.
