Peacehaven Evangelical Free Church, as it is known today, had its origins in open air meetings on the promenade in Joslin's Pit near Seaview Avenue, which has since disappeared due to coastal erosion. The original church was opened in 1922 using a building that had started life on Seaford Head as an accommodation hut for troops during the Great War. A new brick built church was constructed and opened in 1966. The original building was taken into use as a church hall and remained in service until 2002 by which time it had deteriorated so much it had to be demolished. In 2005 the new Friendship Centre offering a self contained flat, a sports hall and a kitchen, together with function and meeting rooms was opened behind the main church. https://www.pefc.org.uk/history-of-pefc/
