I’m New

Two people standing at the entrance of a building, waving hello. The woman on the left has long blonde hair, wears sunglasses, a yellow polka dot dress, and sandals. The man on the right has short hair, sunglasses, and wears a white polo shirt, jeans, and brown shoes. Inside, there are a few people visible through the glass doors, and a parking lot with cars in the background.

Welcome

We're really glad you're thinking of joining us. St Peter and St Paul Church is a family-friendly church in the heart of Fareham, and whether you've never set foot in a church before or you're just looking for a new church home, there's a place for you here.

This page covers everything you need to know before your first visit - what time to come, what to expect, where to park, and who to look out for when you arrive.

When to come

We have two Sunday services:

Every Sunday, at 9:30 am - Communion with Hymns. A quieter, more traditional service with hymns and Holy Communion. It lasts about an hour.

Every 2nd Sunday of the Month, at 6:30 pm - Prayer and Worship meeting. A modern approach.

A diverse group of people socializing in an indoor venue with rows of chairs in the background. The people are engaged in conversations, some holding coffee cups, and appear to be enjoying a casual gathering or event.
Group of friends sitting around a campfire on the beach, enjoying each other's company during sunset.

  • Come as you are - there's no dress code. Most people dress casually.

    You don't need to know when to stand, sit, or say anything. Just follow along, or simply sit and take it in. Our service leaders always give a heads-up (e.g. "please stand if you're able"), and the words to songs and readings are shown on screens around the church.

    If you'd rather not take communion, that's completely fine; just stay seated, or come forward with your arms crossed for a blessing instead.

  • Children are always welcome in the main service.
