Students
St. Nics is at the heart of the City of Durham and we value students as members of our congregation. St. Nic's is not just a student church, it’s a place to meet Christians of all ages and from all walks of life.
To further integrate students into the church we have a range of student related activities: Stubs, Suppers, Alpha, Service, Student Link Up and a Weekend away.
Check out the socials page for the latest social activities.
There is also a student ministry team (SMT) which aims to serve and integrate students into the life of the church.
Services
Students are welcome at all of our services, each has distinctive feel to it. The 10:15am is a family affair and is particularly good for meeting people who aren't here studying. In term time there are two evening services: a more traditional one at 6.15pm in Church and the 7pm with more modern worship (which the largest number of students come to) which meets in Sanctuary 21 (48-49 Saddler St Durham DH1 3NU).
SMT
Made up of students from Nics, we aim to create a warm and friendly atmosphere where students feel welcomed, make friends and grow in faith.
Feel free to contact the Student Minsitry Team at st.nics.studentministry@googlemail.com
In addition the Church staff member who supports SMT and co-ordinates the churches work with students is Revd. Lindsey Goodhew and she can be contacted on ljegoodhew@googlemail.com.
Student Bible Study (Stubs)
Featuring some of the finest cake Durham has to offer is our Monday evening Bible study. Meet at 7:30pm in Nics during term time for some friendly exploration of the Bible.
Student Suppers
During term time we meet at 5.30pm in the upper hall in church for food and fellowship before the 7 o’clock service. All welcome!
Service
We love people to get involved in the life of the church. If you want to contribute to the music, tea/coffee after services, stewarding and welcoming, av, student meals, youth and children’s work, Market Place Project, reading/leading prayers, or feel you want to serve the church in any other way please contact the Student Ministry Team on st.nics.studentministry@googlemail.com.
Student Alpha
A new Student Alpha will be starting in October. Contact Lindsey Goodhew (ljegoodhew@googlemail.com ) or the SMT (st.nics.studentministry@googlemail.com ) or the Church Office for more information.
Student Link Up
An initiative to link up students with other members of the congregation. A list for people who want to participate will go up in the first few weeks of the first term.
Student weekend away
A fun packed and relaxing weekend at the end of the second term. All students are welcome to burst the Durham bubble and escape to the countryside with us for some bible study and fellowship. The Student Weekend will be at the end of the second term [March 2011] - more details to follow.
