Students
A large number of students from all over the country and from all kinds of churches are part of Kings. We are a charismatic evangelical church, linked to Ichthus Christian Fellowship in London and a member of the Evangelical Alliance. Wherever you are from you will find a warm welcome.
We encourage students to get involved with all areas of church life. See the other sections on this site for information about the some of the things we're involved with. There are particularly opportunities for students to get involved with the following groups and activities...
Student Pastorates
Pastorates are groups of 20-40 students meeting once a week either all together or in cells. These groups are at the heart of student ministry at Kings.
This year we have pastorate groups meeting in the Viaduct, Hill and Claypath areas of the city.
