From the outside, this looks like a standard urban church - not flashy but utilitarian.
From the inside, everything is different with tons of stained glass, commemoration of the English Martyrs and - the piece de resistance - the entire ceiling is a scaled down version of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome ! Apparently a group of parishioners went on a trip to the Holy City and one had the inspired idea to recreate this for this otherwise modest parish.
Several years later and the original is recreated in long-lasting acrylic paint. It's clearly not a Leonardo but the reproduction is really very good indeed. The volunteers are knowledgable and the whole forms a rather quirky but fascinating display well worth coming out of your way for. Very much recommended!

A marvel of local artistry producing the only known reproduction of the Sistine Chapel Ceiling in the world. All set off with wonderful modern stain glass windows.
Whilst visiting, we were enthralled by the church’s proud volunteers telling the story of the church and it’s ceiling painted by a local artist and parishioner.
They are happy for you to wander around and take photographs whilst in the church.
There is plenty of parking available and a small pleasant shop just inside the door selling souvenirs of your visit.

Very interesting. The guide was very good and made the visit most worthwhile. One hour was probably not enough but we had a coach schedule. Very unexpected little jewel. Lots of information and some humour. You could tell it meant a lot to him and he made it a lot to us. Many thanks and hope more people get to see and experience this.

Beautiful ceiling. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff who gave us a talk of the history. Well worth a visit with a lovely gift shop too.

A cousin of mine recommended visiting this particular church during my brief stay in Sussex. Apparently they have coachloads of tourists arrive just to admire the magnificent artwork. It is certainly not difficult to see why.
After contacting the friendly staff in the parish office, I decided to visit on a Sunday morning, during Mass. Although I am not particularly religious, this was definitely the best time to visit. Their gift shop is open for a short while after the service, so I was able to purchase some souvenirs. As well, I purchased some post cards to send back home to Melbourne.
Before the service, a volunteer was explaining to me about the artwork. Apparently the artist was so amazed at the artwork in the Sistine Chapel that he obtained permission to paint a reproduction in this particular church. He had no formal training, but he did such a brilliant job. Local church members were used in the copy of The last Supper. This really is worth visiting.

We were so pleased someone told us about this church. The ceiling is the most wonderful work of art. We've never seen the original but can it be better than this?! Plenty of time and space to stand and stare at this fabulous fruit of someone's vision, truly his labour of love. You must go, you will not be disappointed

Made a pre-booked visit with a group. Well worth it because the speaker was amusing and informative and we were given plenty of time to wander about after the talk. We were all deeply moved by the dedication of the artist,a member of the congregation and a signwriter. The imaginative stained glass was a bonus

Unlike the Sistine Chapel, you are welcome to view this amazing artwork at your own pace and take as many photographs as you wish.
The volunteer staff were knowledgeable and helpful, even though the church had been struck by lightning during a thunderstorm the night before our visit.

I had a Wedding at this location, and I was overwhelmed with the gems we have hidden away in Worthing when you think there is nothing left to see, every day is a new adventure in capturing those priceless moments

Small church with amazing artwork by a very talented artist. Vibrant colours. Very informative church members on hand. Had mirrored trolleys to help you view the ceiling. Also a very modern stained glass window.

Is the church far from Worthing Station ?

Yes. If you are travelling by train you need to proceed to Goring-by-Sea Station and we are a short walk from there. You come out of the station head south, walk up to the top of Goring Street and on your left is a roundabout. You need to work your way across to the diagonally opposite corner - a parade of shops - and then walk east along the slip road until you reach the church on your right. Alternately the No 700 bus delivers you ourside the door
