Meeting at the University of Canterbury, Campus Church gathers students and young workers on Sunday evenings. We’re open to all; a community putting our faith into practice at our university campuses and workplaces. The Word of God is central to our lives, expressed in our Sunday services and mid-week Growth Groups; it's through the Bible that we are captivated by Jesus.
Our Growth Groups are central to the way we walk alongside each other; we grow more like Christ, pray and care for one another, rooted in the Word of God.
UniConnect groups run during the uni terms, with most sharing dinner beforehand, while other groups follow the school term.
When you arrive at Campus Church, Newish Connect is the best place to start. It’s a five-week course designed to welcome you to our church. We look at five different areas important to a healthy church and see what the Bible says about belonging to God’s people. It’s perfect if you have already decided to join us regularly, but equally valuable if you’re still unsure and have questions. From there, we can help you with the next step in church life.
Mid-year Conference is a highlight in the calendar every year. We get out of the city as a church family for a week and connect, hear in-depth Bible teaching on a topic, and engage in singing, prayer, and discussion.
“Camp is a transformative time of being saturated in God’s word with God’s people. You dedicate a week to showing love to your brothers and sisters in deep, impactful and vulnerable ways, through prayer, DMCs and pointing each other to Jesus. It’s the playing out of what we want Christian friendship to be; we carry each other’s burdens as well as being empowered to carry our own in Christ, ultimately drawing closer to Him.” — Luci Trethewey
