Wherever you may be studying in our region, especially those at Edge Hill, our nearest University - WELCOME to The Community Church - we are so glad you’re here!
Our students gather together regularly in Ormskirk and Southport to worship, have fun, share life and of course food! This is a time in life when you can serve with your gifts, be stirred, sharpened, encouraged and grow in your faith like never before!
What Normally Goes On?
Blueprints:
This is our mid-week student gathering hosted in Ormskirk where we come together to sharpen, encourage and grow in our relationship with Jesus. See below for more info.
Sunday mornings:
We join together for our Sunday Celebration at 10.30am at The Community Church in Southport. Free transport is available if you are at Edge Hill in Ormskirk, leaving from the security lodge at the front gate of the University at 10.00am. Get in touch if you want to visit us.
Student Lunches:
We offer free lunches most Sunday afternoons during term time after the morning celebration, so take the opportunity to meet with friends old and new and have some great food.
Coffee, cake and chat:
A great combination …so why not meet up with our student worker, Harry, and chat through how student life is going and how we might be able to help you. You can book into meet him by clicking here.
Serving:
We encourage everyone to throw themselves into the church community and seek to serve somewhere – either midweek or on Sundays. Whether it’s on the steward, hospitality, welcome, worship or media team – there is a place and space for all.
Our Young Adult group is called 'Blueprints' because we believe that your time at university is such a key and foundational time for people in their walk with Jesus. We meet regularly on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm to give time to be together and go deeper in our relationship with Jesus. It's a great opportunity to meet and connect with new people.
At 'Blueprints', we believe it's important to have an environment where you have the freedom to share your experiences and ask any questions that you might have about life and faith. There is no question that is silly or stupid. We'll do everything we can to help you feel at home with us.
We also run outreaches over the term to share the life and love of Jesus. These are from meals on Sundays at Alpine, the main night club in Ormskirk, to being in Ormskirk market with a stall, to Alpha, to partnering with Kintsugi Hope to help people with their mental health. Details will be released shortly of dates for this.
In addition to our midweek get togethers, we also join up with the wider church for our Sunday morning celebrations at The Community Church and nationally with other churches. We have a national YA day away on Saturday November 2nd and our weekend away in Cefn Lea Feb 28th-March 2nd.
Don't worry about transport to and from the meetings as we arrange that free of charge!
We’d love to meet you and introduce you to one of our amazing 'Blueprints' leaders.
If you're new to Edge Hill and would like to talk to someone then please do get in touch with us and we'd love to have a chat or click here to book some time with our YA worker, you can meet in-person or online.

We love our student community at Edge Hill University! So much so that we wanted to make a podcast about it. Listen as we chat to current and former students about faith, studies and adventure. Our latest series 'Random thoughts of a student' is now available to listen to here.
