International Students

People from all over the world come to worship with us at Kings and many of these are international students studying at Durham University. It is great to be able to meet people from different cultures and to know that we have Jesus Christ in common!

Whether you're an International Student or a UK student (or non-student) who is interested in meeting people from other cultures, we have two different groups that meet regularly in term-time that you may be interested in getting involved in.

Interact

Mondays, 8-10pm
Shoichi Hall Common Room, Teikyo University

Interact is our weekly social event for international and UK students and is for anyone who wants to make friends with people of other cultures in a chilled-out environment.

We usually have some kind of cultural theme each week, and also get involved in cultural events and sightseeing trips run locally, go out for meals, and generally join in anything that looks fun!

Join us at Shoichi Hall each Monday for food, drinks, games, parties, etc! Contact Ben Ward through the church office or come along on a Monday between 8-10pm.

Ustinov Bible Study

Tuesdays, 8-10pm
Howlands Meeting Room (next to shop)

This is a group for Christian postgraduate students that meets together every week in Ustinov College for Bible study, prayer and fellowship.

Read the article in the Epiphany 2008 edition of the Ustinov College newsletter (downl oad PDF).

Other ways to get involved

College Reps

We need publicity reps for each college, mostly to put up posters and to promote Interact events, whilst working with International Reps and students within their college to raise awareness of international students and their needs.

Other Groups

If you're an International Student who lives closer to the town centre or you're not free on Mondays, you may be interested in going along to a similar group to Interact called Amigos, which meets on Wednesday evenings from 8-10pm at St Nic's Church.

More Information

For more information on any of these events please speak to anyone on the International Student team at church on Sunday or contact them through the church office.
