We’re delighted to introduce Bishop Ruth Bushyager, the Bishop of Horsham — the first woman to hold this role in the Diocese of Chichester. 🌿
Bishop Ruth brings warmth, energy, and deep faith to her ministry, with a background in parish life, mission, and community engagement. She lives in Horsham with her husband, Ron, and their two daughters, and enjoys running and countryside walks with her dog, Maisie.

We’ll be celebrating a very special moment in the life of our church: the Licensing of Rev Wim Mauritz as Priest in Charge. This isn’t just a formal service (though there will be plenty of lovely tradition and ceremony) — it’s also a chance for us as a community to welcome Wim officially, show our support, and look forward with excitement to the new chapter ahead. It promises to be a joyful and memorable occasion, filled with hope, gratitude, and plenty of fellowship. Everyone is warmly invited to come along, share in the celebration, and be part of this important day in the story of our parish.
