Church Directory
We think it is really important that you get involved in a local church. All of these churches are worth trying. We'd suggest going to 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.
Once you are settled, you may want to find a mentor at your church. Go to the mentoring page for more information, and a list of contacts.
City Life Church
City Life Church
We meet every Sunday at 10.30 am at Cantell School, Violet Road, SO16 3GJ (Just down the road from the Glen Eyre Halls) City Life Church is a lively and multicultural church. It is part of the Southampton Christian Network and links nationally with other Pioneer churches. It has specific links with the spiritconnect network of churches led by John and Christine Noble.
As a church, we believe everyone can have a personal relationship with God made possible by the life, death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ. We believe in being a Spirit-led and Bible-based people and in expressing Christianity in a non-religious and culturally relevant way to extend the kingdom of God.
City Life serves with the Church in Southampton to make known the love of Jesus Christ for the city, the nation and the world. Our church is based on:
- Cells: Small groups mutually discipling and aiming to grow through their mission.
- Celebrations: Larger gatherings for worship with the purpose of making Jesus known.
Student work at City Life
There are a growing number of students coming to City Life church many of whom are actively involved in the life of the church, from the worship team, to being part of one of the many cells, helping serve tea and coffee, or helping lead the children’s work.
Our desire is to integrate students into the church body, rather than see them as a separate entity within the church, to see students active and growing in their faith and to help see dreams and visions realised (so if you have a heart for something let us know). City Life has a student worker, Dan Pooley who works with students to help them reach their potential in God.
At the start of the academic year we run 'Welcome Sessions' so that those new to the church (including students) have an opportunity to find out a bit about the church, ask any questions they may have, but more importantly meet some of the existing church members. These sessions run throughout October and the first part of November – if you have missed these but would like to know more about the church and how to get involved just see Dan on Sunday at church.
There are several initiatives that City Life runs which are mainly, although not exclusively, for students – student cells, belong, PURE, Gastronomous , Towards Maturity course.
