About Us

We are an evangelical church made up of people from diverse backgrounds, united by our love for Jesus and for each other.  Over recent times we have been learning what it means to be '...built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit', Ephesians 2:22.  

As a church, we are independently financed and we are registered and operated as a charity. We believe that the Bible is God's word, so we study it and try to apply it to all aspects of our lives.  We believe in God the Father, His son Jesus, and in the Holy Spirit and we actively encourage spiritual gifts.  

We work closely with lots of other churches across the city, and play an active part in joint initiatives. We’ve had a strong historic link to the Icthus Christian Fellowship in London, and have adopted the Evangelical Alliance’s statement of faith.

Youth Ministries

 

The Youth (11-16s) meet regularly to do life together - be it supporting each other, enjoying God's presence and asking His perspective in prayer, or working out what the Bible says about relevant issues to teenage life, expressing worship together, socials, cooking, outdoor activities, the list is seemingly endless. The aim of our youth ministry is to encourage our teenagers to relate to Jesus for themselves.   We have a regular week-night youth session, as well as socials and trips through out the term.  If you're interested to find out more, please contact Ellen or Joe.

Kid's Ministry

As part of our Sunday get togethers, we normally run a range of kids groups in separate spaces, alongside the teaching programme for adults.  

It's our goal that the children meet with God to the same extent as the adults.  The programme is diverse and aims to build a caring, nurturing environment where the children can learn and have serious fun.

Pastoral Support

 

We aim to support everyone in our church through whatever trials they may be facing.  We will often stand together with people, praying for them, reaching out with practical support when it helps.  We have a network of pastoral helpers who we aim to equip and resource to serve the whole church.

 

Support networks range from individual discipleship groups, life groups and the leadership team which regularly meets to pray for the church and any ongoing issues. 

The pastoral support is overseen by Nathan and Miriam

Prayer

Prayer is the essential ingredient in every aspect of church life - in fact, it's a key part of our calling as a church. Our vision is for everyone in our church to be encouraging others and to be encouraged themselves. Getting along to prayer meetings is just a part of this. We run regular weekly and monthly prayer meetings, including early morning sessions, daytime and evening meetings. 

We meet to pray for our close friends in the Congo, as well as regularly praying and supporting our mission partners as a church.

We're also searching out other ways to engage creatively in prayer.  We recently ran a 48 hour prayer room, for example. and we regularly host our friends at Southampton House of Prayer.

Local Community

Local Community

As a church, we are committed to serving our community with the same passion that Jesus did. 

 

For us, that involves putting on events to engage with those living locally, setting up and running charitable organisations to support specific needs, and supporting other charities working with all kinds of groups in our area.

“Give justice to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. Rescue the poor

and helpless…”

(Psalm 82:3-4)

Cafe 153

We live together in community - it's a priviledge to share in the lives of those around us.  Our community cafe exists to serve people by providing a warm, welcoming place to eat and drink and a place to develop friendships and meet others.  

National and International  Community

As a church, we are committed to serving those who run or take part in mission and to support missions locally and globally financially as well as in prayer.
