St Michael's is the parish church for the pretty village of Offham. Our Vicar is Rev David Green.
Our style of worship varies. Twice a month, we share Holy Communion and use a liturgical style. Once a month, we follow Morning Prayer and once a month we have a less formal, All-Age service which heavily involves our children. We have a Director of Music who plays the organ, keyboards and guitar depending on the hymn or worship song we are singing. We enjoy Bible-based preaching and are glad to welcome people of all ages, including children.
If you've not been along before, why not come and give us a try?
The greater part of the building is 13th Century, extended in the 14th and 15th centuries. A list of Rectors hangs in the church going all the way back to 1267. St Michael's is a beautiful, intimate venue for both regular services and occasions like baptisms and weddings.
