New Community is a growing family of church congregations, missional communities and projects serving the city of Southampton and the wider Solent area. Our goal is to the see the whole region filled with the Good News about Jesus, bringing God’s salvation, healing and hope to those who do not yet know Him.

We are committed to: seeing every member of our community equipped and encouraged to be all God has called them to be building vibrant Christian communities; developing projects to serve the needs of those around us.

Over the past few years, the shape and structure of New Community has changed dramatically as we have been led by God to partner with others, make new connections and develop new areas of ministry. Our conviction is that we can do more together than we can on our own.

In this brochure we want to share with you a snapshot of what God is doing across our community.

We hope you will be inspired and encouraged.

Page 5: New Community Handbook 2012

New Community Central is a growing, family friendly congregation with a desire to create a great place of belonging for people of every age and background.

We meet in the City at Central Hall on Sunday mornings – for vibrant worship, practical teach-ing, and the chance to be together. There is a full children and youth programme for ages 0-18’s with Connect Groups meeting throughout the week in homes across the City as a way of shar-

ing life together. We have a large Student com-munity from both of the Universities, which also meets regularly during the term time.

Our desire is that everyone who is part of Central will be able to encounter God and become a true follower of Jesus, empowered to change the world around them. As a large and busy church there is plenty going on that you can get involved with or just come and visit one Sunday - you would always be warmly welcomed.

City Life is a vibrant, multicultural church in Southampton. We meet in an old Methodist building on the edge of the Flowers Estate. We partner locally with Flower of Justice and Swaythling Methodist church who also meet in the same building, as well as being part of the New Community family and part of the Southampton Christian Network.

Our vision is to equip everyone to love God, love one another and love the world through our

corporate worship in our Sunday celebrations and through out network of connect groups and missional communities. We aim to enable every person to grow, give and go: To grow in our relationship with God and in character and gift; To give ourselves, and our resources, to build loving relationships with those in the church and wider community; To go into our local communities and beyond making the love of God known, through our words, actions and supernatural gifts.

Le Vay

Le Havre

Ferry to Caen, an hour’s drive through the Normandy countryside, arrive at New Community Le Vay…a quiet, idyllic farmhouse in the French countryside. Le Vay…a place for refreshing, resting, having fun and reflecting...as each person or group arrives, a new community is formed.

Time to sit; a place to think; books to read; chickens, ducks, geese and sheep to care for; conversations to be had; outdoor activities to

enjoy come rain or shine, a beautiful environment to engage with; tasks to do…Le Vay feeds spirit and soul with gentle rhythms of grace.

A five-bedroomed house, with woodburners, an upper meeting room and peaceful grounds, Le Vay steals the hearts of all who visit. Whether for individual rest, prayer, cultural exchange or group get-togethers for work or play, Le Vay offers an ideal opportunity for meaningful experience of God and one another.
