All Saints Lindfield is an Anglican, evangelical church. We are part of the Church of England, within the Diocese of Chichester and affiliated to the Sussex Gospel Partnership.

Each Sunday around 400 adults and 100 young people gather to worship in one of our three regular congregations (9.30am, 11.15am and 6pm). All Saints is growing and we are looking at ways to grow existing congregations and develop new ones.

Our beliefs and vision as a church is best summarised in our ‘Core Convictions‘.

Lindfield is a attractive, semi-rural village set on the edge of Haywards Heath, in the heart of Mid-Sussex. It’s well connected by virtue of the proximity of London-Brighton line and A23 corridor. By train you can quickly reach London Victoria (45m), Brighton (16m) and Gatwick Airport (11m).

All this while being a short hop to the beach, a walk on the South Downs, or exploring the Ashdown Forrest. Lindfield is a village with a community feel and outstanding schools. There are active networks of professional musicians in the local area eg. Ensemble Reza and Curo Nuovo who regularly hire the church for performances.

Lindfield was just voted as the best place to live in the South-East by The Times.
