Our Vision for Students
At Moorlands we believe that your time at University is a crucial time to grow as a Christian by playing an active part in the mission of a local church. We want to do all we can to help you make the most of this opportunity and to make sure you are strengthened in faith, stretched, trained and equipped through God’s word for a lifetime of serving Jesus in Lancaster and beyond.
Our priorities as a community of Christian people are evangelism, Bible teaching and training. There is a wide range of people who make up Moorlands, but we do aim to make it a great church family for students and international students who want to be taught, stretched and trained during their time in Lancaster and who want to play an active part in Christ’s work.
What’s on every Week for Students
Sunday Mornings
Our morning meetings happen at the Sixth Form Centre, Ripley St Thomas C of E High School, Ashton Road at 10:30am. Our main church family meeting is where our whole church family, children, adults and students, meet to hear and respond to God’s word together. As well as clear Bible teaching and contemporary music, we also allow plenty of time to get to know each other over coffee. Click here for details of transport from Lancaster University.

Real Food for Students
Real Food for students also happens at the Sixth Form Centre 6pm on Sunday evenings. Our Real Food programme aims to stretch, train and equip young adults and students in understanding the Bible and sharing the gospel with others. The evening includes a short talk, small group Bible study and a hot meal together. Find out more >>
