The idea of the student clusters is to be a place of belonging for all university students and recent graduates who want to hang out with and be discipled by people who are in the same phase of life.
Here are the details about the student clusters...
Encounter
Passionate about bringing regular prayer and Christian fellowship into our local community: finding our way in prayer for each other and our friends. Giving God the opportunity, week by week, to lead us and teach us about prayer. Holding ourselves accountable with a prayer journal, where we record what God is doing with us throughout the year.
Leaders: Lindsay Butlin & Steve Pillinger
Inside Out
Inside Out aims to be an outward looking missional community. We intend to spend half our time supporting each other through prayer and sharing meals in homes; the other half will be spending time blessing the wider communities we are already part of e.g. housemates, team mates and friends. We are excited that this year will be an opportunity for all cluster members to share and realise personal dreams with a close group of Christian friends. We'd love you to come and join us!
Leaders: Ben Doolan, Tim Hodkinson & Becky Hadfield
M & M
We are a student cluster with a focus on the community of Crookes. We enjoy sharing food and spending time with God and each other. We seek to reach out to our local community by "adopting" streets to pray for, bless and reach out to in creative ways. We also like pub quizzes, walks in the Peaks and litter picking!
Leaders: Beth Summers & Emily Uren
The Edge
We are a group of students who are passionate about extending the genuine friendship that we have in church to those who are outside. We actively seek to involve housemates, coursemates and everyone on the edge of church in all that we do. We are all about showing the love of Jesus in practical ways. We meet all the time, all over the city and particularly love to share food!
If you want to know more find Sam, Davina, Charlotte or Clare, or those loudest in church!!
Leaders: Sam Rennie & Davina Jones
Transform
We are a bunch of students who want to see Jesus impact our friends, and change the lives of the people around us. We focus on having a community where anyone is welcome, and we get to know those who are close to each of us. We meet in homes, pubs, and restaurants, and love to share our lives with each other. We look forward to running an Alpha course, and seeing our friends come to know Jesus.
