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 evening seminars

On three Sundays a term we hold an interactive seminar straight after the evening service, looking at the Bible's teaching on a particular aspect of the Christian life. This year we'll be looking at the Bible's teaching on money, sex & relationships and work. Many of the 20s-30s who attend the evening service also come to these seminars.

Other Sunday evenings often involve a trip to the Burleigh Arms pub (opposite the church) after the evening service which provides an excellent opportunity to catch up with old friends, make new ones, and to chat about the sermon.

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 chance to learn from God's Word together, to discuss difficulties and challenges, and ask all those awkward questions that have been bothering you.

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.

Mid-week prayer

With so much going on, and conscious that we need God's help to accomplish anything meaningful, we consider our whole church prayer meeting to be central to everything we do. All the church family meet in the hall at Christ Church on the second Wednesday each month from 8:00 - 9:30 p.m. For those who can make it, there's a meal beforehand (from 7 p.m.)
