The Parish of Swaythling |
The Parish lies on the Northern edge of Southampton,
UK, in the Diocese of Winchester, a short distance from Junction
5 of the M27. The Parish is large and diverse.
It includes
what was once the village of Swaythling, the ancient settlement
of South Stoneham, the large 1930s estate known as the ‘Flower
Roads', the Hampton Park and Mansbridge estates, and part of Townhill
Park, and is very close to Southampton University.
The River Itchen
runs through the Parish, as does the main railway line to London.
|
Our Aim |
We are here to exercise the ministry of Jesus Christ in our own neighbourhood and to share in the wider ministry of the Church in the world. This ministry includes worship, prayer, fellowship, pastoral care, mission and service. |
