When you’re not hitting the books, you’ll have plenty of chances to dive into the vibrant community life around here, get comfy in our facilities, and explore the stunning outdoors right at your doorstep.
Each school we will organise a mix of weekly socials, from fun stuff like wide games, escape rooms, lip-sync battles, dance classes, karaoke, and quiz nights, to chill bonfires and worship nights. There’s something for everyone. For those of you who love staying active, we’ve got plenty of sports options lined up too, such as volleyball, spikeball, jump rope sessions, and even parkruns.
Whether you’re into leisurely walks, board games, gym sessions, movie nights, playing an instrument, crafting, or curling up with a good book and a cup of tea, we’re sure you’ll find plenty to do here to make your time unforgettable.
And just in case you need reminding that you’re in the UK, we’ve got some epic trips planned. Think iconic spots like the Lake District, cities like Liverpool, Manchester, and Edinburgh, plus a long weekend to explore even more of the UK or even venture into Europe. You won’t run out of adventures.
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.
Bible School Student 2023
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.
