The city church
St.Simon's is part of an informal network of churches whose aim, in the long term, is to become One Church for the sake of Jesus' Kingdom in Portsmouth.
We have a prayer meeting every Wednesday morning at 6.30 a.m. The leaders stay on to talk and pray afterwards. A number of shared initiatives and projects have sprung out of our network:
- 'Christians in Business'
- 'Faith in Football' which runs football clubs on council estates in the city
- prayer groups in schools and colleges
- 'Refresh and Redeem' a group of Christians engaged in low key ministry in the city night clubs.
We are also, of course, a parish of the Church of England!
