Donations cannot currently be made to this page
We're an Anglican church planted from Holy Trinity Brompton in 2009, building a fun community in one of the most iconic and recognised buildings in the heart of Brighton. Our vision is to see the reevangelisation of the nation, the revitalisation of the church and the transformation of society.
