The parish of Portsdown and Purbrook brings together two churches who together serve the communities of Purbrook, Widley, Berewood and North Cosham.

Our services are relaxed in style, while remaining structured. St John’s tends to the traditional, whereas Christ Church is a little more contemporary, with sung worship led by a worship band.

The parish was formed in 2023, building on the shared lives of our churches, which includes numerous groups and activities supporting the needs of people in our locality.

We welcome you to explore our churches on this website and in person.

Christian Science Society Portsmouth is a friendly Christian community where we welcome others to join us in our worship and service to God. Our emphasis is on learning and understanding the Bible and following the example of Jesus and his followers.

Sunday Service Times - 10.00am

We are a small family Church with a big heart and we’re open for worship every Sunday morning. Our service starts no earlier than 11:00 and no later than 11:05….well, not much later.

Our services are relaxed but we do ask you to be quiet during the sermon. We only ask one person to bring God’s word and you’ll recognise them because they face you and have a microphone. Jesus met with people in their circumstances; fisherman at sea and Zacchaeus in a tree. We don’t expect you to dress up, but don’t mind if you do.

We don’t have a Pastor so we have a group of different speakers who visit us. This gives us plenty of variety so we are likely to have something for everyone.

Come along, you might even enjoy it!

The Church of the Holy Spirit is a place of worship and community service.

Our style of services could perhaps be best described as ‘middle of the road Anglican’. We use modern language orders of service in all our worship and try to combine dignity and reverence within a friendly and open approach. Familieswith children and babies are always welcome at our services.
