St Andrews Methodist Church, Eastleigh town centre

We welcome all who love the Lord or are seeking to know more about what the Christian faith has to offer. Our declared aim, as a congregation, is to strive to deepen our personal relationship with Christ Jesus in order that we may become more aware of His will for us and to enable us to serve Him in all that we seek to do.

Worship

We are a caring, friendly congregation and meet for worship at 10.30am every Sunday; there is a creche for the very young plus junior and teenage groups who meet during this time and take part in their own activities. Every third Sunday morning in month we have an All-Age Worship service and encourage our teens to take an active role. We also have a music group, made up of singers and instrumentalists who help to lead our singing each week. Extensive use is made of the PowerPoint projection system during the morning services.

At 2.30 every Sunday the Zimbabwean Fellowship meet in the Church.

There is an evening service at 6.30pm.

During the week we have several house groups where informal worship and bible study take place.
