Welcome to Harbour Churches
We are three village churches working to be good news in our communities. We invite you to share in our life of worship and service as we come to know the love of God in Christ.
We’re blessed to live in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the Manhood Peninsula, south of Chichester. We are two parishes, West Wittering and Birdham with Itchenor. We gather to worship at Birdham, St James, Itchenor, St Nicholas and West Wittering, St Peter and St Paul. We have two community facilities, the Church Room in West Wittering and our award winning, new St James Centre in Birdham.
If you’re looking to share in worship, a life event – baptism, wedding or funeral or to be supported in any way please contact us.
