Welcome to St Margaret's Community Church!
Our heart is to worship, hear the word of God, tell stories of what God is doing and pray for one another... but in it all, if the Holy Spirit wants to do something different then we want to let Him do it.
Our gatherings are relaxed in style so you will find people standing, sitting, raising hands, and generally expressing the joy they feel. We value an atmosphere where we can freely express feelings to the Lord.
Trained and accountable prayer ministry team members are at hand to pray for you at the end of the meeting every week. Even when there is no invitation to receive prayer, do go forward and ask someone from the Prayer Ministry Team to pray with you (they will be wearing lanyards).
Don’t feel you have to rush away at the end – tea and coffee is served, and, if you go to one of the team you can have a chat with someone about ways you can get connected into the Church family here.
We do have children's group during the service.
Our parish of Southsea: St Margaret of Scotland is committed to safeguarding children, young people, and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishop's guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Portsmouth’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO https://www.stmagscc.uk/safeguarding or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services."
