About Arun Churches
Collectively known as Arun Churches, we serve the villages of Bury, Houghton, Coldwaltham, and Hardham, nestled at the foot of the picturesque South Downs with the River Arun forming their eastern boundary. With the Eucharist (Holy Communion) at the centre of our worshipping life, we aspire to be a welcoming and prayerful presence for all within our villages and wider community.
