Outside Chapel
Welcome to
West End Chapel.

You are most welcome to come along and worship with us. We are a small independent evangelical church.

Sometimes it is not easy to walk into a building full of strangers but we assure you of a warm welcome.

Our Family Service on Sunday is at 10:00am - this is followed by a cuppa and biscuit and a time to chat. The Breaking of Bread Service (Communion) is at 6:30pm except for the last Sunday of the month, when the Breaking of Bread is after the morning service and we have a Praise and Preaching Service in the evening instead.

Sunday 10:00am Family Service

Family Service - creche available. The Sunday School have their own meeting during the latter part of this service. The service is followed by a cuppa and a biscuit. On the last Sunday of each month, this service ends with a short Breaking of Bread service.

Sunday 6:30pm Breaking of Bread Service (except last Sunday in month)

This is a communion service. Anyone present may ask for a hymn or say a prayer as they feel led. Near to the end of the service, one of the leaders will break the bread and pour out the wine. Anyone may attend. If you are a Christian, you are welcome to take the bread and wine with us. If you are not sure, you can always pass the bread and wine on; no-one will mind.

Sunday 6:30pm Praise and Preaching (last Sunday in month)

Normally this service is about 40 minutes of praise through the singing of various hymns and spiritual songs followed by a message that normally lasts about 20 minutes. Occasionally, we have a Christian DVD instead where the subject matter would be of interest to members of the Chapel.

Our prayer meeting and midweek Bible study is held in various member's homes. The locations are given in the current monthly notice sheet; available in the Chapel foyer. On the first Thursday of each month, this meeting is dedicated to prayer for the missionaries that the Chapel supports.

Friday 7:30pm Tracks (Youth club)

Tracks is an unstructured drop-in club for older children (year 7 + to post school). We have a pool table, table tennis, table football, a Wii and a Playstation among other activities. A tuck shop is available.
Other activities take place as and when arranged. Details can be found on the monthly notice sheet available at the church.

The sketch to the right shows the location of our Chapel in the West End of Fareham. You can access larger maps from the following sites:

  • Google
  • Multimap
  • Streetmap
  • If you are coming from Fareham town centre, take the A27 to Southampton. Shortly after passing under the railway bridge, you will come to a set of traffic lights. Turn left into Redlands Lane. Proceed along here and turn right into St Michaels Grove. There is a church (St John's) on the far side of this junction. Turn right into Fairfield Avenue at the sign for the church and then left after the shops on your left hand side. You are now in St Annes Grove. This will dog leg to the right and then the chapel is at the end of the road on your left. There is ample parking to the chapel site at the rear and side of the building.

    If you are coming from Southampton along the A27, you cannot turn right into Redlands Lane. Instead, you will need to carry on under the railway bridge and come all the way round at the roundabout. You can then turn left into Redlands Lane at the lights as described above.

    We look forward to seeing you.
