Cranleigh Community Church is an established local church seeking to meet with, and be relevant to, everyone in the Southbourne area.

We are a growing group of people from all age groups and different walks of life who believe Christianity is good news worth sharing, making a difference to both individuals, communities and the world.

Our desire is for people to come to know Jesus Christ in a personal way and to grow in the likeness of Christ.

We are a family church sharing together in life’s experiences, where forgiveness, acceptance, love and joy form the basis of a united fellowship.

We look to meet each other’s needs in practical and real ways that demonstrate the love and power of God.

We are a charismatic evangelical church believing:

• In God in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• The Bible is the inspired word of God.
• God is the Creator and Judge of all things.
• In Jesus Christ as God’s one and only Son who came to bring forgiveness for sin, freedom from guilt and fear and a new quality and direction of life through His rule.
• In Jesus, who died and rose again as payment for all our sin and who will return in glory.
• In the indwelling and empowering of the Holy Spirit in all believers.
• In the family of believers and that each one of us is unique and special to God.
