Originally built in 1859 as the village school, it was thoughtfully repurposed in the 1950s to serve as a welcoming and versatile community space. Today, the hall continues to thrive as a hub for a wide range of church groups, as well as community and business events.

The main hall, complete with a stage, and the south room at the rear are both regularly in use, reflecting the hall’s important role in local life. In addition to these spaces, the building offers a large, well-equipped kitchen off the main hall, a modest car park for visitors, and the Church Office located on the first floor—making it a practical and well-loved venue within Rustington village.

We offer a warm, safe and respectful place where people can receive practical help, friendship and encouragement. Hardship is not always visible, and we welcome every visitor with dignity and without judgement.
