Welcome
A very warm welcome to our churches – St Barnabas’ and St Nicholas’ in the Parish of Worth, in Crawley West Sussex. We are a vibrant parish, aspiring that each of us will find a sense of belonging, appreciation, and affection. Our aim is to foster faith, meeting you wherever you are on your spiritual journey, through various enriching experiences.
What’s a Parish?
England is divided up into parishes and every person in England can look to their local parish and clergy for help and advice. Though you may belong to another church or be of a different faith, you can ask to be baptised or married in your local parish church, and everybody who lives in the parish has the right to a funeral in it.
