life.

History
Southampton
Chinese Christian Church first started over 10 years ago through the fellowship
of a small number of local Chinese Christians. They met to study God's word as
given in the Bible, to praise, pray and worship the Lord Jesus Christ through
regular fellowship and commitment. As the group grew, it begun holding Sunday
services at the Milbrook Christian Church. After a number of years meeting in
Milbrook with the ever increasing number of overseas Chinese students
attending, the group moved to new premises and now meets at
Portswood Church.
This has provided a more central location for both the local Chinese and also
students and is within easy reach of the city centre.
The body of Christians who meet together include students (both
undergraduate and postgraduate), families, and those in the local catering
business and other professions. The majority of those that attend are
ethnically Chinese (both local and overseas from China,
Hong Kong, Malaysia,Singapore,etc). Sunday service is now conducted in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.
There are also Sunday School classes which are also held weekly during the main
service, catering for a number of different age groups. Outside of the main
Sunday Service, there are four Bible study groups which meet regularly
throughout the week.
