Do come to our weekday morning and evening services- they provide a welcone start of finish to the day! Great News! Kidzone now continues through the Holidays! (and has done for the last three years, but nobody told the Webmaster!) Are you between 3 and 11 years old? Come along to the Church Hall on Sundays at 9.45

We are a small (congregation of about 100) Victorian Church. We have a 'Middle of the Road' style of Worship, a thriving Kidzone on Sundays, and a refurbished Church Hall

HELP! We need a few volunteers to help us with Broadways Coffee Shop! If you would like ot help (unpaid! but helping your local Church) for one or two mornings (09.45-14.00) each week, we would be delighted to chat! Just come into the Coffee Shop and talk to our happy staff!

We have two charities which we support this year, Our Collections on Sunday 18th July will help support them

Havant Talking News, which offers tape recordings of general and local news to people who find it difficult to read,

and Sunshine Village in Luxor, Egypt which gives funding and shelter to needy children

Gentle reminder.
The area at the back of the church is earmarked as a place where parents can sit with young children during service (hence the carpet). Please do not sit in this area if a movement or noise may distract you, as we wish to welcome and accommodate those with small children in our limited space.

Would you like to join our Choir?

We have, at full strength, thirteen Members but strength is not very often full!

See Frank Pegg, our Organist who is always (nearly) in church for morning and evening services (10.00-11.00 and 18.00-18.30) and also at Choir Practice on thursday Evenings at 19.00-20.00

We are in the centre of Purbrook, ‘over the Hill’ to the North of Portsmouth. Purbrook is a Parish of approximately 10,000 people shortly to be enlarged by the southern part of the West of Waterlooville Major Development Area (a development of eventually 4,500 houses). Our Church is located in the extreme South Western corner of the Parish and has a Victorian Church building, a Church Hall which has recently been renovated, and, in the shopping parade 500 yards South, a Coffee Shop, Broadways Coffee Shop.
