We offer a warm welcome to students of all nationalities and backgrounds looking to find their home in a local church. However if you're looking to slip into the anonymity of a large church where everything is done for you – best to go elsewhere ! We don't have a student track, or groups especially for students. Here you'll be treated the same as any other member of the church. Whilst it's easy to dip into a church service, or to attend student specials, it’s a much greater challenge to really get involved in a church and become part of it.
Students can get involved in working with our young people, in messy church, our home groups, the worship group, worship leading, preaching and in everything else that we do. Sounds like hard work? Of course it is, but being a Christian isn’t supposed to be easy. Wherever you are, God has a purpose for you, but if you don't get involved, you can't fulfil it.
Of course you are in Southampton to study and we recognise the commitment and energy it takes to study at degree level. We suggest that for the first few months you do nothing until you get a feel for your work load and where you fit in to church life. We are also hoping to be able to offer one to one mentoring to any student who would like it. (It’s also been known for Students to be invited to lunch although once again it’s a case of mucking in with the washing up !)
We are located centrally in Fleming Road (just off Swaythling High Road) 5 minutes walk from Monty and Connaught Halls and down the hill 10-15 minutes walk from Glen Eyre.
