Church facilities
Visiting us
St. Mary’s church is an ancient and historic building. It is suitable for assisted disabled visitors, although wheelchair users will find parts of the church inaccessible.
St. Peter’s church is a modern multipurpose hall, offering straightforward access to most visitors.
In either case, please check before visiting to make sure the church building is open and there aren’t any services taking place!
Weddings and baptisms
St. Mary’s and St. Peter’s churches are both licensed for weddings. Our choir can add to the atmosphere of your special day by singing your chosen hymns.
To enquire about baptisms or getting married in one of Sompting’s churches, please contact The Reverend Erika Howard (at The Vicarage, West Street, Sompting, Lancing, West Sussex BN15 0AP) or telephone 01903 234511.
