The Southbourne Foodbank, Puffins Pre‑School and the Men’s Shed all operate from Immanuel and many other organisations hire rooms in the church. The Church Office is at the centre of all that goes on; a place where church members and visitors will come for information, help or just for a chat! Immanuel works closely with other churches in Southbourne to promote the Christian message.
