Canon Mark Standen (Rector)

 
I’m married to Susan, and we have two children, Lucy (who is studying Physiotherapy at University) and William, who attends secondary school in Worthing.

Before ordination, I was a barrister specialising in family law, but decided I would prefer to spend my time helping people to find life through Jesus rather than pursuing a legal career. Fortunately, the Church of England agreed and I was ordained in 1995, serving initially in Sevenoaks and then, since 1999, in Angmering where I have been very happy and felt fulfilled

I enjoy spending my time with family and friends, I love reading, cinemas, walking in the beautiful Sussex countryside and visits to the gym, except after family holidays!
