Students and 20s

Our heart as New Community Church students and 20s is to empower and equip our students to live bold, radical New Testament Christianity on campus, resulting in places and people transformed by the truth of the gospel. "love:campus" is all about putting our words into action.

University is a place of partying, learning, sleeping, eating, discussion and debate and topics such as your faith, God and the Bible are often on the radar. We are hungry for God to break into our campuses and therefore we need, more than ever, to have strong spirit-filled Christians on our campuses who will be witnesses for Christ because we strongly believe no-one can do student evangelism as well as you can.

There is plenty for you to be getting involved with and throughout the year we will meet together monthly to worship, enjoy teaching relevant to where you are and lift up our campuses and our workplaces in prayer. You can also join one of our student life-groups, which meet weekly and are a great place to meet other students from the surrounding colleges and universities. We also host our 144 Prayer Nights monthly at the church centre. These prayer nights are really the backbone of all we do as a students and 20s group and are a great opportunity to drop your studying for a night and press into what God has in store for you.

The church meet together every Sunday morning at 9.30am and at 11.30am at the church centre. Most students prefer the 11:30 service as we meet together in one of the local pubs for lunch afterwards. If you are a new student make sure you get a hold of a "Free Lunch" pass as our welcome gift to you. This will entitle you to a full refund so make sure you hold on to your receipt!

We look forward to meeting you this Sunday or at one of our events. If you would like any more information please email students@newcommunitychurch.org.uk and one of the team will get back to you as soon as we can. The team are here for you, so if there is anything we can do to help or make your settling in to university and church life any easier just ask.

    Chris heads up the students and 20’s leadership team and joined New Community four years ago when he came to the area to study design. As well as drinking coffee with students he can normally be found in the office as he is contracted by the church as a designer, so if anything goes wrong with the website it is probably his fault!
