Meeting as we do within a stone's throw of major university campuses and halls of residence, we at Christ Church have a passionate desire to reach out to the tens of thousands of students in Southampton at any one time, to disciple them, care for them, train them in ministry and send them on, ready for a lifetime of Christian service in whatever context they find themselves.

There are now around a hundred students, from the UK and abroad, undergrads and postgrads, who call Christ Church home. Our work among them includes regular events and enquirers courses, an annual conference, weekly Bible-oriented student meetings (Student Connect and iConnect), and an enormous one-to-one discipleship programme. We also run an intensive two-year associates scheme for graduates who wish to learn Christian ministry 'on the job'.

Giving to the Christ Church Gospel Partners Fund (Registered Charity no. 1150427) is the most straightforward way for those outside the church family - be they alumni of the church, other Southampton graduates, parents of current or past students or others who have had some contact with the church and would like to support the ministry in a practical way - to contribute financially to the work.

You can set up a regular, gift-aided standing order or make a one-off contribution to the Fund by clicking on SUPPORT US NOW. If you have any questions about giving, or would like to contact the Trustees, you can do so by clicking HERE.

As well as giving financially, we ask you to pray for the work of the church! We long to bring glory to God by seeing his gospel go forward. Please pray that your gifts and those of others would be used to achieve that purpose. If you'd like to get a termly update on how things are going and things you can pray for, please contact Orlando Saer (orlando@christchurchsouthampton.org.uk)
