Students
Whether you’re a new or returning student to any of Birmingham’s universities, we hope you’ll quickly be able to call this great city home and we’d love to welcome you here at church.
Our Associate Minister, Ben Wells, heads up our work with students – you can contact him here if you’d like to know more.
If you’d like to meet up please fill out our welcome card and we can arrange a coffee at one of Selly Oak’s finest establishments.
Vision
Our heart is to see students rooted in God’s word, growing in love for Jesus and thriving as his disciples at university.
Our regular student group meets after the 6pm service at St Wulstan’s for food, Bible discussion and prayer. There’s lots of other chances to grow through the week in one to one discipleship, Bible studies and book groups.
As part of God’s church with people of different ages and ethnicities, drawn together through Jesus, we long to see you thrive as you’re welcomed into this wider community through meals and the student adoption scheme.
We currently have services at 10am at St Stephen’s and 6pm at St Wulstan’s in person. You can also access our morning service online here.
St Stephen’s often has a wider range of ages and is where we offer more provision for families, whilst a number of our students usually come to our 6pm service at St Wulstan’s.
International Students
It is our great joy to welcome hundreds of international students to our city, and to Selly Oak. We are delighted that some find their way to our church or to other activities we run. So whether you are already a Christian, or wanting to know more about what Christians believe, or just want to get to know some friendly local people, then we are here for you! In particular:
Globe Café for international students meets on Monday evenings 7.30 – 9 pm at St Wulstan’s building, where we offer the opportunity to get to know local people, play some games, find out about interesting things available in Birmingham and beyond, and have conversations around topics of interest. All are welcome – just come along!
We also provide various opportunities to look at what the Bible says in small groups, both to help those who are already Christians to grow in their faith, and for those who just want to explore what the Bible says.
Also, why not check out our Sunday church services: 10am at St Stephen’s or 6pm at St Wulstan’s?
