Whether you're a visitor to West Wittering or a new or established resident, you're most welcome to come and worship with the Church Family here at West Wittering. As we come out of lockdown we have one service in this church on Sundays: 8am Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion.
The church is open for private prayer from 9am to 5pm on Wednesdays to Saturdays inclusive.
The church is in Pound Road, West Wittering, PO20 8AJ. Next to the church is the Rectory, attached to which on the left is the Parish Office. Together with our two sister churches in the parish of Birdham with Itchenor, we form a benefice in the Rural Deanery of Chichester, in the Diocese of Chichester.
A little further down the road from the church is our Church Room which we use for meetings and social events - but sadly not at the moment.
To find out more about our church and village, please click on 'Get in touch' in the left hand margin and scroll down to find the link to our benefice website. The website gives details of our weekly online Sofa Service and also our outdoor All Age Sunday service at St James, Birdham. This is held in the church grounds at 10am, weather permitting!
