Welcome to the South Downs Gateway Churches
Four Parish Churches — One Faithful Community

We’re delighted to welcome you to the online home of the South Downs Gateway Churches—a family of four vibrant parish churches serving our local communities across this beautiful corner of the South Downs.

Together, Holy Trinity, St Mary’s, St Andrew’s, and Morestead Church form a benefice rooted in Christian faith, friendship, and service. Each church has its own unique story and style, but we are united by a shared calling: to worship God, love our neighbours, and grow together in the light of Christ.

Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time, returning after some time away, or looking for a spiritual home, you are warmly invited to join us. From Sunday services and village events to community outreach and quiet moments of prayer, there’s a place for you here.

Come and discover the life of the Church in the heart of the South Downs—we’d love to welcome you in person soon.
