Our Story
St Alban’s Church is a church community with music-filled worship, opportunities for prayer and fellowship, a children and families’ outreach, and a commitment to being a blessing in our wider world and community.
There are different ways that you can join us in connecting with God. We enjoy the presence of God through the beauty of our Anglican liturgy with traditional hymns and contemporary songs, quiet and reflective weekday communions, occasional services with other local churches and through the fun and fellowship of children and families gatherings.
We offer opportunities for you to discover, grow and deepen your Christian life, through study groups, prayer, and fellowship groups such as women’s evenings, men’s group and community gatherings. Our children and families programme is rebuilding after Covid, and features seasonal events with creative activities.
Our mother church in Ngaio Street is currently closed for earthquake strengthening, so we meet at 09030hrs on Sunday mornings in San Antonio Catholic Church in Oroua Street. Our parish office is in our parish hall next to St Alban’s Church in Ngaio Street, Eastbourne.
Memorial Wall
The memorial walls at St Alban’s, Eastbourne are a sacred place for remembering.
Niches in the wall are intended for those involved or connected with St Alban’s and their families. Requests from others may be referred to the Vicar and Churchwardens for a decision at their discretion.
Niches may be purchased when someone has died, or may be reserved in advance for future use.
Contact the parish office if you are interested in purchasing or reserving a niche.
The parish office also arranges the plaques for the memorial wall and meets with families to discuss the details of the plaque, wording etc.
When a plaque has been made, and when a family is ready for the interment of ashes, the Vicar liaises with the family to arrange a mutually suitable time to meet at the memorial wall for a short ceremony to inter the ashes and bless the plaque. Families are welcome to invite guests to gather for this ceremony.
