Churches
It's really important that we are all involved in a local church, as the CU itself isn't a church! If you're not yet in a church we'd suggest going to a few that seem like churches you would want to get involved in, but make sure that you settle in a church quickly, and get involved in service and fellowship at your church. Check out the link to the right for a few tips on finding a church. This is also really helpful!
Once you are settled, you may want to find a mentor at your church. Go to the church mentors page for more information, and a list of contacts.
Southampton is blessed with many churches, and to present you with a list of 40+ churches would just be a bit mind blowing! To make it a bit easier for you we have set out the list of the churches which currently have the most student involvement*, and the other Southampton churches can be found on the Southampton Christian Network's website.

Southampton Vineyard Church
Sunday Meeting 10.30am, Bitterne Park Junior School, Manor Farm Road
House groups: Small Group meetings, Wednesdays or Thursdays, 7.30pm various locations around Portswood, Swaythling, St Denys and Bitterne Park
Our vision is to nurture a passionate, worshipping family of believers reaching out to a generation in need.
Our housegroups are the core of our Church. We believe that we are most effective as a body of Jesus' followers and as his family when we are looking after each other in small communities who can encourage, equip and be committed to one another. Consequently our ministry is worked out through these groups as we seek to love the lost and alleviate suffering and poverty around us. It is these groups that come together on Sunday mornings at Bitterne Park school.
