Southwood
Church
Southwood Church Meets at Southwood Community Centre, Links Way, Southwood, Farnborough, Hampshire, GU14 0NA. See on a map where Southwood Church meets.
Where and when does Southwood Church meet?
Our main meeting is at 10am on a Sunday in Southwood Community Centre next to Morrison’s Supermarket, Links Way, Southwood, Farnborough, Hampshire. Tea, coffee, children's drinks and biscuits are served after the service. There is more than ample parking (including parking for the disabled) right next to the church in the large free car park. We welcome wheelchair users, and all areas of our worship centre are wheelchair friendly, including an accessible toilet.
I am not sure about going to a church - what if I do not know what to do?
No need to worry: at Southwood Church all the words for songs are projected on the
wall, and we do not have a 'service book'. The worship leader guides us through each
step of the service so no one is worrying whether they are doing the 'right thing'!
Some dress smartly, some in jeans and t-
What else happens?
We have a good diary of events, from church walks to Christian basics courses, barbecues,
the ACE youth club on Friday evenings other youth events; Smilers -
I have children - what if they make a noise?!
No problem: we have lots of children at Southwood Church, and they are verywelcome. We have a well staffed Sunday School and Youth work (YBS), and under 3s can play at the back on a mat with toys during worship. We know little ones make noise, and that’s fine!
Is Southwood Church growing?
Southwood Church has grown much over the last few years. We think this is
down to
good solid Bible teaching and a friendly, kind congregation. It is a good place to
be! Children are really important to us because they are part of present and our
future. Southwood Church now has 5 housegroups, attended weekly by about 50 of our
adult members. We are committed to being at the heart of our community at Southwood
and giving it the best. One of our most valued links in the community is with Southwood
Infants School. We also have good relationships with Rushmoor Borough Council, especially
as we work towards the 
provision of a new Southwood Community Centre for the future.
Is church a bit boring?
We try to make our services fun and interesting, with a good mix of new and familiar things as well as relevant preaching and teaching. We believe church is a place to find truth, fun, excitement, comfort, love and peace.
Is God interested in me though?
You are as important to Him as the Vicar – or anyone at Southwood Church. God would
love you
to join us.
What actually happens in a service?
• Steve our vicar, or another of our worship team leads • We sing songs led by our band • We learn what the Bible has to say • Someone leads prayers • Our Healing Ministry Team often prays for those who ask for God's healing • We have fun together • Once a month or so (see diary page) we have breakfast at 9:30am for anyone and everyone, but it’s fine if people don’t arrive until around 10am as well.
What is the point?
Christians believe Jesus Christ to be the most important person that ever lived:
• What he had to say were the most important words ever spoken • What he did
was the most important thing ever done • Everything he said and did has huge
importance for us today • Jesus makes knowing God possible • Jesus is the
reason we meet at Southwood Church • Jesus brings forgiveness • Jesus transforms
lives for the good
