Baptisms

If you've not yet been baptised and would like to be, we've got baptisms on Sun 16th August. We already have a number of people who'd like to be baptised, but if you're interested, please complete this form and someone will be in touch with you.

Summer of Picnics

Join us for a picnic, after church, every Sunday in August, 12:30pm. Come to just one, or all of them. It's a great way to get time with others from GodFirst, eat lunch together, play games and build community. Mudeford Wood field is a short walk from The Runway, or limited parking is available.

Matthew King

Sadly, Matthew King, who some of you will remember from previous GodFirst days, recently passed away. Please be praying for his wife, Justyna and their 3 boys at this incredibly difficult time. A service of thanksgiving for his life will be at The Runway on Wed 26th August, 11am, followed by refreshments.

Building Update

Here's Roland with an update on where we're up to with the building work. Progress is being made and we're getting closer!! Click here for the video.

Freelance Social Media Lead

We are excited to announce Harri Lee has taken on the role of freelance social media lead! Harri will be forming our online presence across various social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. We live in a digital age and need to reach unchurched people in as many ways possible, so this is one of those approaches. Look out for new content and snippets from our Sunday preaching as well as our Kingdom values.

Finance Update

Duncan emailed last week with a 2026 finance update video. Please find time to watch it, and as always, do reach out if there are any questions raised. We're so thankful for the generosity, faith and commitment of our church family. Every gift, whether large or small, plays a part in helping us continue the mission God has called us to together. Click here to watch the video.

Tell Us Your Stories

God is always at work in our church family, and we'd love to hear what He has been doing in your life - this strengthens faith and calls others to believe for similar miracles, whether healing, provision, relationship restoration, anything that God has done.

Please email your stories here.

Summer Office

As we're now into school Summer holidays, a number of the staff have annual leave planned. Please be patient and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
