Family Church

Fratton Community Centre runs a variety of activities and events all year round for all ages:

We gather people of all ages and background from across Hampshire. We're a vibrant, Bible teaching church eager to serve those in and beyond our city with the good news about Jesus Christ.

We think of ourselves as a family of Christians, ordinary people who meet together to worship God. By ‘ordinary’ we mean: young people; children and teenagers; studying at school and college; middle-aged people, working at various occupations to earn a living; older people, appreciating their retirement years.
