Who we are

OneBody Southampton is a network for all churches, Christian organisations and Christians in Southampton, drawn together by our shared faith, hope and love in Jesus.

Our vision is to see God’s Kingdom come in Southampton as in heaven.

We aim to:

cultivate connections between Christians, leaders and organisations – e.g. we hold monthly lunches for leaders; we encourage Christians in different work sectors (e.g. business, health, education) to come together
catalyse collaboration between different churches and organisations – e.g. prayer initiatives for the city; mission projects across the city; a mapping project
co-ordinate communication so Christians across the city can be encouraged by what God is doing and hear of relevant events or projects:

What does OneBody Southampton do?

Building Community

We meet together as church and project leaders every month to share and encourage each other. We pray together, eat together and grow together. OneBody is a relational network, we currently link around 80 leaders from around 50 different churches and projects across our city.

Find out how to join the community of church and project leaders by contacting us or subscribing to our mailing list.

Encouraging Prayer

We help to connect believers in Southampton with prayer initiatives that are already happening, as well as encouraging new initiatives to start.

We are working on a resource that maps activities across the city, from toddler groups to training courses, and from congregation meeting places to community cafes.

We want to encourage and mobilise people to pray for our city. Find out more about the Prayerwalk.app, and join us in prayer walking our whole city together.

Supporting Unity Events

We support and encourage unity faith events, such as the recent Easter event in Guildhall Square. We help to link our communities to mobilise volunteers, funding, skills, and expertise, as well as connecting with churches to engage with city events.

We aim to connect church communities with resources and equipping right across the city. To tell us about how you may be able to help, or to let us know about something exciting that is going on, please get in touch here.

To see upcoming events

We don’t run big events. We help provide the networks and communication channels for initiatives that bring churches, Christian organisations and Christians together:

Praying together across the city

God’s kingdom will only come in Southampton as in heaven as we pray for our city.

We have an app where any Christian can map the areas they have been prayer walking in. Wouldn’t it be great to see the whole city, street by street, being prayed for in Jesus’ name?

Sign up to see the latest progress and join in:

Or download the app and pray your part...

With the App you can mark the routes you have prayed or you can live track as you pray. You can also add specific prayer needs for the areas you are praying for.

Recent Events across the city

OneBody Southampton Launch event
Wed 19th November 2025

A great day with 98 people in attendance from over 40 different churches across the city and over 15 charities and projects represented from around the city.

Bishop Rhiannon King spoke to encourage Christian leaders in the city to work together.

YouthFest 2026

YouthFest 2026 was an incredible weekend that brought together over 170 young people from 12 churches from across Southampton. Our vision has always been to see young people reached with the gospel and to provide a residential for those young people and churches that wouldn't be able to facilitate this on their own.

Many of our churches and projects were previously involved with Southampton Christian Network, which was formally closed in 2022. Although the network was closed, it facilitated a project called the learning community which enabled study and relationship building for church leaders in the city through 2022 - 2023.

Following on from the learning community initiative, it was agreed in 2024 that OneBody Southampton would be formed, with a vision to encourage and facilitate unity amongst the churches in Southampton
