There are lots of ways to get involved in community life at Capernwray, from team sports to enjoying some of our newly refurbished facilities such as our gym, craft room and music practice rooms. Weekly sports tournaments, social events and trips across the UK are also all part of the adventure of community life.
As a student, you’ll live in a loving and caring community of about 120 fellow students and around 50 members of staff. The experience will transform you, and most people leave having made life-long friends from around the world. You will also be part of a family group and small group Bible study, meeting each week. These groups are brilliant for building strong relationships.
It doesn’t matter who you are, what you look like, or what you’re interested in, no matter what, you will belong.

Family groups
Your family group will be led by two or three staff members, and will meet to pray and share together each Wednesday morning. Your group leader will look out for your well-being and be happy to talk over personal matters with you if you want to. Family group leaders also arrange occasional social events each term on a Friday evening.
Small group Bible study
These groups involve meeting with fellow students on a Tuesday morning, based upon region, and discussing a New Testament passage together. The groups are student-led and present a great opportunity to exercise leadership skills and facilitate peer discussion as well as sharing thoughts, ideas and understanding of key biblical principles and practice.
Pastoral care
We want to do our utmost to care for you whilst you are with us. Every one of us is different and we come from a range of backgrounds and with varied experience. You may come to Bible School with issues you are already aware of, or as you develop and deepen your relationship with Jesus, other issues may arise. We will assist you in any way we can.
