Welcome to our church

We hope that you will find much to interest you here and will want to join with us as Christians in Fareham. Our church mission statement is "Sharing Jesus' love with the world today". This means we, all ages, come together each week for Sunday worship to listen for God's word for us. The rest of the week we try our best to act on what we have heard both in church and through our own prayers. We try to care for each other to the very best, and this love and care then flows out through all of us in our work, leisure and home lives. Wherever you are as regards faith in God, come among us and help us together, to grow closer to him day by day.

You may or may not be aware that there are now daily reflections, written by all kinds of contributors, made available by the United Reformed Church as emails. You can subscribe here to receive them. You can also find them on our website or on Facebook.

5th June - World Environment Day

Prayer from Eco Congregation Scotland

Holy God, we live on a small speck of green and blue

hurtling in the vast array of galaxy, nebula, asterisms, quasars:

there are more stars in the known universe than grains of sand on our globe,

yet we are each known, loved and strengthened by you.

We don’t tremble with fear: we gasp with awe, and marvel with joy

at our place in creation’s wondrous unfurling story of Eternal Love.

In our humble searching for truth and wisdom,

our understanding falls at the immensity of all you have done:

we rejoice in what we see and marvel at your creative acts. Amen
