Journeying deeper into relationship with Father, Son and Spirit.
Jesus loves you passionately and He has amazing plans for your life. The focus of University years can be all about training you for what you’ll do. However, Jesus also has big ambitions about who you become! We believe that your relationship with Him and with others will be a huge determining factor in that.
Citygate Students is for any Undergraduates and Masters students aged 18-25. If you have any questions at all, please email students@citygate.church.
What we get up to!
-
Teaching
In the last few years, we’ve had speakers from other churches, from the wider Citygate family, from the Student Team and sometimes even our own Students.
-
Application
We split into smaller groups, explore scripture and chat, pray and encourage each other as we apply God’s word to our lives.
-
Encounter
There is student-led worship each week, but on Encounter Weeks we have the opportunity to spend more time in the presence of God. We also invite students to share with one another from the front.
-
Social
Once a month is a social! We've done things like ice-skating, BBQs, bowling, games on the beach, meals out and Laser Quest.
I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
— Ephesians 3:17-19

Our student team leaders
Gordon and Katie Thorn head up our amazing Student Team. They long for each student to go deeper in their experience of God’s transformative and unconditional love.
Top Tip. Impress Gordon with your best dad jokes. He’ll use them on his radio show…he also has a Christian podcast where he interviews pretty cool Christian musicians.
Universities of Bournemouth Christian Union
Bournemouth Christian Union is a team of Christian students from churches across Bournemouth which aims to give every student the opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel. UBCU meets every week, some of our own students attend, and we love and support what they do - so we’d definitely encourage you to get involved!

Serving
Here at Citygate, there are many ministries and teams that could help you grow spiritually, while applying and developing your own gifts and talents alongside others. It’s also a great way to make new friends!

Alpha
Alpha is a series exploring the Christian faith. We enjoy a meal together, watch a short film about a big faith question and then discuss it together in small groups. Everyone is welcome to come and find out more, say what they think and ask anything!
