Churches

If you are coming to York and are looking at the possibility of joining a church group - you will be well served in York! I remember being told as a first year, rather proudly, that there are 52 churches in york -- one for every sunday of the year, including a leap year! With such a selection there is something for everyone whether you love the tradition or want to rave it up on a sunday. From my experience the best thing to do is be open minded! Spend time in the first term having a bit of a hunt around different places and getting to know the congregations (trying to speak to real live adults too - not just the students!). The Christian Union believes passionately in the importance of being part of a church in york, and there will be students who attend the different churches helping answer any Qs you may have. They'll also be around on Sundays to walk with people into town to take them to the different churches. After having had a bit of a hunt, however, the best thing to do is just to pick somewhere and get stuck in! No church is entirely 100% perfect but every church will have something to offer; and being a part of a church commmunity is vital part of being or looking at Christianity. We've talked to different vicars/pastors/minsters/nice people and they are all looking forward to welcoming you in their church family!

If there is a church not listed below that you thing should be please let us know at web@uycu.org.uk and we will try and add it!
