It's great to have undergraduate students from both universities in Cambridge joining the church family at Christ Church. As well as encouraging students to play a full part in the life of the church, we run a series of activities specially tailored for you.

Sunday lunches

Each Sunday during Anglia Ruskin semesters and Cambridge terms we hold a student lunch straight after the morning service. These provide an opportunity to catch up with old friends (and make new ones), discuss the sermon and, several times a term, take part in an interactive seminar. This year we'll be looking at the Bible's teaching on church, the Bible, evangelism, relationships, and important topics that show us who we are and where we're going.

TNT Bible study groups

On Tuesdays we meet at Christ Church from 7.30 p.m. for drinks and cakes, then from 8–9.30 p.m. we split into groups of six to ten to study the Bible and pray together. This year we will be working through Mark's gospel, one of the Bible's accounts of Jesus' life.

Studying the Bible one-to-one

In the past, lots of students have found that studying the Bible one-to-one with an older, more experienced Christian has been really useful. These meetings provide a chance to learn from God's Word together, to discuss difficulties and challenges, and ask all those awkward questions that have been bothering you.

Weekend away

From 18–20 April 2008 year we'll be escaping from Cambridge for a few days. Last year we visited the Norfolk coast, ate fish and chips, and heard talks on prayer and guidance. This year will be just as much fun as we relax together and encourage each other to keep going as Christians.

Serving at Christ Church

Getting stuck into an area of ministry in the church is a great way to serve and get to know people. Students can get involved in many areas of church life - including teaching children in Sunday Club*, helping in crèche*, playing in the music group, operating the sound desk, serving tea and coffee, welcoming, and helping with holiday clubs*. We also encourage each of our students to consider helping at a camp or Venture* over the summer; these provide a wonderful opportunity to tell teenagers about Jesus and provide great training for serving him in the future.
