About the church:

We are Highfield Church, also known as Christ Church, Portswood; an Anglican church in the Diocese of Winchester.

At Highfield Church we believe we are called to be devoted disciples who encounter God, grow together and seek the Kingdom.

"They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Acts 2:42-47
