STUDENTS

SMB Students is an undergraduate community following Jesus together, to become like Jesus, to do the things that He did. We do this through meeting together for worship and teaching and everything we do usually involves food. All undergraduates in Canterbury are most welcome to come and join us!

What's happening this term?

Teaching // Romans: A life in Christ During this Autumn term we’re turning to one of the most profound books in existence, the Cathedral of the Christian faith and the Everest of biblical theology! Paul never planted the church in Rome but cared about it deeply. A church of Jews and Gentiles, slaves and free, it’s letter that’s relevant to all. What makes the Gospel so good and how will it change my life?

What does the Bible have to say about mental health? // On 7 November we’re excited to be doing a joint event with The Tap with teaching from Rachael Newham, founder of ‘Think Twice’ and author of Learning to Breathe. To sign up to the Mental Health evening, please fill out the form below:

Launched // Jesus is the Lord of all things, life with him brings focus, colour, and energy – to the extraordinary and the ordinary in uni life. So, what would it look like to see a generation of students who love God and love people, in and through the whole of their uni lives? Through their degrees, on their sports teams, in church small groups and student houses, on nights out, and by doing the washing up…? Launched is designed to inspire you to engage with God in the whole uni experience, and to see him at work there too. This will be aimed at Fresher’s but open to all.

Routed // For those of you graduating this year, the move from university into work holds some of the greatest challenges and greatest opportunities in our lives. Even small adjustments made during these transition times act like the needle of a compass, setting a good course of relationship with God for decades to come. Through the year we’ll be having four sessions preparing you for life post-uni, laying out biblical mindsets and practical steps for whole-life discipleship.

Student Leaders Hub // Is God calling you as a leader? You may not have realised this or are only beginning to consider what this means and how God is using you to influence others around you now and in the future. Maybe you’re on a CU committee or serve somewhere within the life of SMB. This will be the third iteration of this group, so if you’re interested speak with Stephen.

Baptisms // 10:30 Sunday 3 November Would you like to be baptised or reaffirm your baptism vows? We’re going to be filling up the baptistry so if you’re interest speak with Stephen to find out more. This will be a great event to invite friends to and stay on for Student Lunch.

Food // We love eating together and learning to cook together too! Cooking is done in Small Groups on a rota and only the best ‘choons’ in the background. Watch out for the food hygiene training coming soon!
