Christ Church Gloucester
A bit more...
Before you read the rest of the bumf below, what is important to know about us is that we care about each other and are a community of friends that wants to connect well with others. SO ... if your looking for a place to get to know other brilliant ppl well then please stop by and see us.
Relentless is the name of our young adults community that is for people aged 18-30's and is a mixture of students, employed ppl and others in between life stages :-) Sometimes people describe us as a house church in a church. Some of the things about us that are different to other churches is that our teaching is not sermon based but discussion. We know that we all learn from each other so we jump on our sofas and everyone is welcome to contribute to the chat or just sit back and take it all in. We are also a mixture of people from different churches. Some call Relentless their church and others connect through Relentless in addition to their other church. We welcome all :)
Here are some of our guiding values:
We want to make an impact on the world & all those we meet.
We want to be open & honest, not afraid to discuss & question.We want to be shaped by those who are here.
We will be a mixture of those who call Relentless their home church and people from many churches across the city.
We have a number of different mission opportunities for you to get involved in as well. We have Bean Bag Mission which is great fun and really simple to get involved with. We will be at local events and at Freshers so feel free to come jump on a bean bag and say hi. We also have God Chat which are informal convos or DMC's about the whole God thing over a pint or a cuppa. This is especially good if you are not a fan of doing a course based things. Or if you want to talk to a mate about faith but want someone to help guide the conversation.
We have a Christians Against Poverty course aimed at helping you make the most of your student loan and not have massive money worries whilst at uni. So if you want more info about 'Money Matters' then do give us a shout. Check out this vid about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RSOJo48Wvk
We are interested in helping you through you student experience keeping Christ at the center.
What do we do for students?
Love, support, teach and feed!
We have a students worker called Kirsten who is passionate about helping students through the reality of life and its many challenges. We know that things are not always easy, when things are tough and you are struggling we will be there to help you. Kirsten is currently a student at Hartpury College.
We also have prayer triplets which is where you are with two others to pray for each other and encourage each other weekly or more :D
Relentless is a community that doesn't say 'This is what a young Christian adult looks like' but says, 'We want to live a Christ centered life, and see what that looks like'.
If you are just looking to socialize with other Christians, develop and explore a gifting/calling or just come for a good worship sing along then Relentless is here for you.
BASICALLY, we have a bunch of stuff going on and would love you to be part of it and we want you to massively enjoy your time at uni. What would be better than reading all this is to meet for a cup of coffee and chat in real life :D
When & Where
Relentless @ Christ Church
Brunswick Road
Gloucester
Gloucestershire
GL1 1JZ
Relentless meets on Sunday nights 8pm at Christ Church, Brunswick Road. We are a few min walk from the center of town. So come jump on one of our giant bean bags or chill on the sofas.
This evening service is informal and everyone is welcome to join in with the discussion.
We are also in the early stages of launching a Relentless group in Cheltenham as well so watch this space :D
If your looking for something a little more traditional then our morning service is a small congregation which has a service of the word alternating with communion.
