We share a congregation and services with St Peter & St Paul, Mottistone and seek to work with the local community in celebrating significant moments and events in the life of the wider community. We have an annual service of thanksgiving for the lifeboat, we host the Commemoration of the Departed for the Five Churches group and we have an extraordinary Christingle service each Christmas Eve, together with the more usual carol services and Harvest Festival.

The church has a number of memorials to the lifeboat which was stationed at Brook from 1860 – 1937.

There is also a memorial to those who lost their lives in the flying boat disaster in November 1957, when the Aquila Airways ‘Sydney’ crashed at Shalcombe with the loss of 45 passengers and crew.
