Cells
The church has a structure of small groups called cells. Below is a selection of cell groups that are part of City Life Church, please call or email the church office for further details or to be put in touch with the cell contacts.

Flowers Focus Cell
This cell meets on Thursday evenings with the aim of reaching out the Flowers Estate and praying into the area. This cell is made up of students and young couples and others living in the area. This cell also joins together once a month with the student cells at the Flowers Estate House of Prayer.

Impact
The members of this cell aim to impact their friends, neighbours and family for Jesus. They focus on loving and helping them in practical ways where possible. They are also a resource cell for the church and will often help other cells to grow through providing, prayer, guidance, teaching and prophecy.

Sholing Cells
There are two cell groups gathered around people living in the east of Southampton: a men’s cell that meets for Saturday breakfast and a women’s cell that has a varied programme including social events and prayer. Both cells circulate around the different homes of those in the cell groups.

Student Cells
There are 2 cells (one boys, one girls) that focus on equipping and encouraging students to reach out to their friends in halls, houses and on their courses, as well as helping students integrate into the church family. These cells are not exclusively made up of students and so also pray into and support the outreach of other members in their spheres of influence. Both cells meet on a Tuesday evening and run a Sunday programme for students and their friends as well as joining with the Flowers Estate cell for the Flowers Estate House of Prayer. They gather together for larger meetings once every few months.

Women's Cell
This cell meets on Mondays and draws together women from across the city with the aim of reaching out to friends, neighbours and colleagues often through meals out together and pamper sessions!
Contact: Bev Webb or Nicky Porter
Youth Focus Cell
This cell is set up to support and help the leaders of the youth work run through the church. It supports those who help with Lift on a Sunday morning, and the Girls group run on the estate.
