The St Peter Project
For many years it has been the desire of Fishbourne Parish Church, near Chichester, to sell the old church hall in Mill Lane and build a new church hall on ground which adjoins the Church.Whilst at times progress has been slow, as planning and legal issues were dealt with, planning permission has now been granted on both sites. In time the existing church hall will be sold and funding permitting, the new church hall can be constructed. More >>
The Alpha Course
The Alpha course is for anyone who wants to find out more about the Christian faith whether you go to church or not. There are many reasons for coming on the course. Some people want to investigate whether God exists. Some people are not sure what are the core Christian beliefs and would like to find out. Others would like to find out if being a Christian makes any difference in everyday life. More >>
