Our Story
Saint Wilfrid is a vibrant Anglican, HTB Network Church, based in the coastal town of Bognor Regis, on the South Coast of the UK, led by Rev’d Joel and Lella Mennie.
Vision
Our vision is to play our part in the evangelisation of Bognor Regis, the revitalisation of the church and the transformation of society.
Approach
Saint Wilfrid is a space for anyone to come and explore the things that matter most in life in a pressure-free environment, to encounter Jesus, find genuine community and make a significant impact in the world around them.
Partnerships
We are the Parish Church of Bognor, part of the Church of England and located in the Diocese of Chichester. We are an HTB Network Church, partnered with St Peter’s Church, Brighton, and work closely with the Church Revitalisation Trust (CRT).
Heritage
The heritage of Saint Wilfrid Church can be traced back to 1896. When, in response to the growing and changing population of Bognor, a tin chapel was built very close to where Saint Wilfrid Church now stands. Between 1905 and 1910, work began on the construction of a permanent church to replace the chapel and in 1910, although construction work remained (and still remains) unfinished, Saint Wilfrid Church, Bognor, was consecrated. In 1971, it became the Parish Church of Bognor Regis. Read more.
