Students and Young Adults
Students and Young Adults at St Nics
A huge welcome to all students here at Durham! St Nics student ministry strives to help students and young adults encounter Jesus, learn from him and work with him in transformative and life-shaping ways, so that each student and young adult knows Jesus as their source of strength, life and guidance throughout their university years and beyond.
Get involved!
Student and Adult Night | Thursdays 6pm - 8:30pm We have Student and Young Adult Night at 6pm on a Thursday, where we enjoy a meal together before spending time in worship, workshop-style Bible teaching and in prayer. All are welcome, we would love to see you there!
Home Away from Home Scheme St Nics has a Home Away from Home Scheme to connect students and young adults with a host family. Our host families are there to help students feel fully settled in and connected to wider church family. Please email our Student Worker Phoebe to sign up.
Student socials | We love to build community and have regular student lunches after our 11am service and socials before our 6:30 services, as well as socials throughout the term. Our next Student Lunches are 27th September 2026 and 4th October 2026. Our Alnmouth beach trip will be Sunday 25th October - we can't wait!
ONE WAY Worship Nights St Nics Students and Young Adults are part of ONE WAY - a network of student and young adult ministries in the Northeast focused on church unity and friendship. We gather once a term for a worship and prayer night with brothers and sisters from other churches in the Northeast to pray for our region.
Men's Gathering | Last Saturday every month Our church has a men's ministry group called The Gathering, which meet on the last Saturday of every month for bacon butties, fellowship and discipleship. Contact thegathering@stnics.org.uk for extra information
Women's Ministry / The Orchard We're super excited to be going to The Orchard Women's Conference on Saturday the 10th of October 2026 - email Phoebe for more information and to sign up. Durham is also home to an ecumenical student women's ministry group called The Well - please email Phoebe for more information.
Student and Young Adult Weekend Away Every year we retreat to the Yorkshire Dales for a weekend away - a rich time of pursuing God together and spending extended time in worship, fellowship and teaching. Our next Student and Young Adult Weekend Away will be 12th - 14th February 2027.
If you are curious about trying church or exploring faith for the very first time, we are so delighted to welcome you here! You can contact our Student Workers Phoebe or Toby with any questions, and one of our student ministry team would love to take you for coffee and chat. We have Alpha courses running during first and second terms, which is a great place to come to meet new people, discuss life and chat about any question you might have about faith.
