Church of the Good Shepherd, Shoreham Beach

Church of the Good Shepherd, Shoreham Beach The Church of the Good Shepherd is a parish church of the Church of England for Shoreham Beach, West Sussex.

It has a unique shoreline location, and has served the local community since 1913. We are a lively community with an inclusive welcome. Almost every day of the year the church building is open - usually from around 8:30/9:00am until 5:00/6:00pm - for quiet prayer and meditation, to read the Bible or simply to sit and be still. Our church is in a unique position - we sit right at the shoreline and

wonder if ours is the closest active church to the sea in this country. We are an inclusive, worshipping, healing church on Shoreham Beach, with a mission … to welcome you!

Thanks to our MP Tom and local councillors for attending. Also to John Watters for hosting, Martin for the tech and our refreshment team, welcomers. And to all those who came.
