Welcome!  We're so glad you found us! 

Life in your late teens and twenties can contain some  big changes; starting work, managing your own money, starting a new course or moving out of the family home.  Portswood Church us here to help. We're diverse community of ages and stages with different backgrounds and expereiences, all willing to share our journey and help you with yours. 

Portswood Church is centred on Jesus Christ.  We want to know him more, follow his example and teachings, becuse we believe that's how we flourish in life. We believe the Bible is a living book, not dusty and old fashioned, but relevant to our lives today. We believe Jesus has trasformed how we view life and want to share this with as many people as we can.  

Where to Start? 

Sunday Mornings 10:00am – We encourage all everyone to come along to our Sunday morning service to join with the whole church family in worship, service, prayer and learning together what it meas to live out the teachings of Jesus.

Bible Study: Each week, 7pm at Tom & Sarah's we meet with the Navigators to study the bible together. It's a time for sharing life together and learning from the Bible and each other. Plus there's free pudding!  
 
Lunches: On the last Sunday of every month we have a free lunch after the service for those 17-30ish. It's a great opportunity to share food, get to know each other and if your happy to, pray for each other. 
 
One-to-one: to get the most from a 'quiet time' with God, go deeper in your faith, explore a particular topic or to be equipped with skills for discipling others? Spend time with someone who can meet regularly with you and pray for you. (For more information speak to Gez@portwood.org)
 
Link with a family: If you're away from family, and you'd like to be linked iwth one here, we can help. (for more info speak to Louise@portswod.org) 

Regular Church life – We'd love you to join us at any of our other regular activities, such as homegroups, Heartbeat (Our monthly prayer meeting). Our morning 'Hosts' are on hand to help you get to know other people in the church. There are also plenty of opportunities to serve whether that be in our worship team, helping with PA/Visuals, being a morning 'Host' welcoming people, helping with the children's work or serving refreshments after the service - we'd love to have you and full training is given!
