History
​
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries there was a spate of church building here in Bexhill. In 1924, St Paul's Free Church of England was founded. The first meetings were held in the Glynn Hall Hotel, Sea Road. The hotel is now a block of flats.
​
Two plots of land, both owned by builder, Mr A Wood, a keen evangelical Christian, were donated to the church, and a simple wooden structure was erected in Wickham Avenue. where the congregation could worship together.
This building survived until 1963 when the incumbent Rev. Arthur Ward erected the present, brick building.
​
Due to the Coronavirus the ministry of St Paul's moved online via facebook and YouTube. The doors of the church were temporarily closed by the government, and we found ourselves turning to the internet.
