open t inclusive church

Open Table is a worshipping Christian community which genuinely welcomes and affirms people who are: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual+ (LGBTQIA+), our families, friends and all who seek an inclusive Church.

We aim to create a safe sacred space for you to explore your faith and what it means for you in a welcoming place where ALL are included regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race or ability.

Whoever you are, wherever you come from, you are more than welcome here.

Here in Horsham, the Open Table community is hosted by Cornerstone London Road. Cornerstone is also a member of the Inclusive Church Network.

We meet every 2nd Sunday of the month from 4.30pm for refreshments and fellowship followed by an non-denominational communion service. Click here for more information and a photo from the first meeting.

2. Support our presence at Pride events. This involves some costs as we buy and create items to give away from the stalls, and we share resources. There may also be entry fees for volunteers. Thank you very much.

Planning your Visit

A warm welcome

We are one Church in three locations and we will be pleased to welcome you. Although we are different on the outside, inside you will find communities of believers gathering to praise and worship God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and trying to live out our faith by serving others as best we can.

How to find us

Choose the chapel which is convenient for you, a map can be found on each chapel’s homepage. For those arriving by car, there is a small car park at the London Road chapel, and nearby parking on the road and in public car parks. At St Andrew’s and Partridge Green, there is parking in the roads nearby. If coming by train, St Andrew’s chapel is a 15-minute walk from Littlehaven station and London Road chapel is about ten minutes from Horsham station.

Planning your visit

For your first visit, we suggest arriving about 10–15 minutes early. You will be greeted by a Welcome Steward who will be able to answer any questions you may have. All our chapels are wheelchair-accessible and have accessible toilets. There is a hearing loop for those who need it at the London Road chapel. At all chapels hymn words are displayed on a screen, but hymn books are available if you prefer. However, do check the calendar as we sometimes have joint services and so we will only be meeting in one of the chapels.

Our Services

The Sunday services in all our chapels start at 10.30am. For more information see our Sunday Services page (link). The service lasts for 60–75 minutes, and includes hymns and songs, prayer, Bible readings and a talk, usually based around the readings. The service is led by one of own ministers or by a lay person who has been trained in leading worship. Once a month in each chapel we celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion, to which all are welcome. We use gluten-free bread and alcohol-free wine at this service. At the end of the service, we serve tea, coffee and biscuits and there is the opportunity to chat informally. Please do introduce yourself; we will be pleased to get to know you.

Can I bring my children?

Messy Church, which is especially for parents, carers and children, takes place at St Andrew's on the 3rd Sunday of the month from 3 to 5pm and at Partridge Green during the school holidays (see our calendars for dates and to book for Messy Church at St Andrew's).

If you would like to talk to one of our ministers, please use our Contact Us page. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
