Bishop Hannington Church Hove Service Times

Bishop Hannington is a Christian, Evangelical, Anglican Church in Hove, East Sussex

We work in partnership with our sister churches; Holy Cross Church and Goldstone Church, together with others in the Sussex Gospel Partnership and the Diocese of Chichester.

What We Believe

CHRISTIAN

We believe in one God who has revealed himself supremely through his Son, the Lord Jesus.
To know God the Father, we must put our trust in his Son and his death for our sins.
The chief work of God the Holy Spirit is to draw people to faith in Christ.

EVANGELICAL

We believe that the Bible is God’s word and is therefore our authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
In all our activities we seek to listen to and obey God’s word in Scripture.
We also aim to proclaim the Bible’s wonderful message of salvation through Christ to as many people as possible.

ANGLICAN

We stand in the tradition of the Anglican Reformers of the 16th Century, affirming with them the great truths which were rediscovered at the time of the Reformation, such as the sovereignty of God in salvation, justification by faith alone, and salvation in Christ alone – the 39 Articles of the Church of England explain these beliefs more fully.
All Christians from any denomination are warmly welcome at Bishop Hannington Church.
We unite in Christ and not under any one denominational banner.
