STUDENTS

 



SMB Students exists to be a generation of student journeying with the King to see his transforming power changing lives. We do this through meeting together for worship and teaching and everything we do usually involves food. If you’re an under-graduate in Canterbury then you’re most welcome to come and join us! Stephen and the student team.

STUDENT NIGHT

We start with dinner at 6.30pm to get to know each other and catch up. Then we head upstairs to spend some time in worship, hearing and learning from God’s word, a chance to wait on his Spirit and to begin to apply the teaching we’ve learnt in small groups. 


When: Thursdays (during term-time)

Time: 6:30pm – 9.30pm

Where: SMB, 59 Nunnery Fields, CT1 3JN
 

STUDENT LUNCH 

Regularly after morning service during term-time we turn the Link into our own massive dining room and have some good grub together to build relationships and catch up with each other.



When: Sundays (term-time)

Time: after the 10.30am service

Where: SMB, 59 Nunnery Fields, CT1 3JN
 
 

FAMILY LUNCH 

Once or twice a term we like to send the students to visit different families around the church so that they can get to know other people in the church family. This is always a really fun time and some good friendships have been built. 

When: Sundays

Time: After the 10:30am service

Where: Homes with a sofa
