Location and background 

Fittleworth Evangelical Free Church (FEFC) is located in the village of Fittleworth, which lies in the Rother Valley, a spectacular part of the West Sussex countryside. The parish of Fittleworth has a population of just over 1000 in 450 dwellings ranging from council houses to single detached residences of a high standard. 

The church was founded (as Fittleworth Mission) in 1906. We moved to the present site in 1937 and the building was refurbished and modernised in 2000. However, only 25% of our congregation live in the village. The rest are drawn from a wide area, with regular visitors located up to 10 miles away in some directions.
