GB6SMW

GB6SMW is on the air during the 2nd Saturday each September for CHOTA (Churches On The Air). The special event station is part of the Parish of Worthing, Saint Matthew’s annual community celebrations, for the Feast of St Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist, giving thanks for the formation of our Parish in 2008. 

Saint Matthew’s church was opened in December in 1899 as a daughter church (Chapel of Ease) of the Parish Church of Holy Trinity, Worthing. Then In the early 1990’s Saint Matthew’s Church became part of the Team Ministry of the Parish of Christ The King, Worthing. At the end of March 2008 the Parish of Christ the King, Worthing was dissolved. And on 1st April 2008 after 109 years and 3 months the Church of England Parish of Worthing, Saint Matthew’s was formed and Saint Matthew’s church became a Parish church for the very first time.
