South Downs Gateway Churches
A Place Where
You Are Expected

Whether you are looking for a spiritual home, a quiet moment of peace, or a community where you can truly be yourself, you are expected here. We don’t just “tolerate” difference; we believe our church is only complete when it reflects the beautiful diversity of the whole world.

Regardless of your background, your journey of identity, your abilities, or your doubts: come as you are. There is a seat with your name on it, and the coffee is on us.

We are committed to diversity. You can view our [Room for All” Promise] here.

We want everyone to feel at home. Please see our [Accessibility Guide] for information on our facilities.

Four Parish Churches — One Faithful Community

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.
