Brookes Students - Start Here

Welcome!

Starting at university can be quite a daunting time with a new city, new people and a new way of life to get used to. Here at St Ebbe’s in Headington we’d love to welcome you to Oxford and to help you find your feet as you start out as a student.

Lots of students from Brookes come to our three Sunday services* in Lime Walk in Headington, with most choosing the 7.30 service. Why not come along on a Sunday to check us out? We’d also love to invite you to a student supper after the 7.30 service on 27th September and 4th October to give you the chance to find out more of what happens at St Ebbe’s and to meet some other students as well as the student team.

We really hope you’ll quickly feel part of the church family – if you do decide to settle at St Ebbe’s the best way to get involved is to come along to Focus which is our mid-week programme for students (click link for more info).

If you’ve never really thought about Christianity before, your time at Brookes is a great time to do that! Each semester we’ll be running a 7 week Christianity Explored Course to give you a change to ask your questions and find out more about who Jesus is and why it matters. (click link for more info).

For international students we also run Explore on Friday evenings. Please get in touch with Al Gibbs for more information.

We really look forward to meeting you in person – do get in touch with Dave Reid who heads up the student team if there’s anything we can help you with.
