About Us

Our church has long been a place of hospitality as one the city’s ancient gateway churches and people have worshipped here for over a thousand years.

Today we continue to offer a welcome to many from across the city and surrounding area, whether drawn by the quality of our music and choral tradition, our provision for children and young families, our offering of diverse opportunities for worship, prayer and learning, the strong sense of community we seek to foster - or for many other reasons. Our vision is “everyone is included, loving and generous service is celebrated, faith is nurtured and developed, and everyone is inspired to reach their God-given potential”. If you would like to join us for any of our services or midweek activities, we hope you will feel at home, make new friends, and most important of all, be enabled to grow in friendship with God.

We are part of the Church of England, in the Diocese of St Albans, and we have a special relationship with Marlborough Road Methodist Church, with whom we celebrate key services during the year.

Keep on Walking

Two weeks after Easter we read of Jesus meeting the grieving and confused disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35). They were so busy discussing all that had happened that they didn’t notice that the stranger alongside them was Jesus. Instead of rushing in to explain everything, Jesus first asked them what they were discussing and listened to all they had to say – what had happened, what they had been hoping for and how they felt now. In her talk Ruth encouraged us to

With peace comes Sanctuary

The flight into Egypt was of particular significance to the art works of Nicholas Myneer, on display in Portsmouth Cathedral recently. Myneer is an artist and sculptor and this particular work of art, like so many of his works, shows the holy family making their escape from the violence of the Massacre of Innocents . Yet, given a more up-to-date take, it represents escape from current violence, as in Gaza. In both drawing and sculpture, Myneer adopts a stylistic format, which
