Reading Family Church
A bit more...
We are a lively church family of over 600 people with a vision to be a growing, Jesus-centred community, bringing God’s Kingdom to Reading and beyond. We desire to grow in our worship of Jesus, aligning our lives to His teachings, whilst helping others to do the same and knowing, accepting and caring for each other.
We want to play our part in meeting the needs of our town; helping create footprints of justice, mercy & hope. We want to bring joy, peace and transformation wherever we find ourselves during the week and to be those who joyfully share our time, talents and treasures to further God's kingdom beyond our horizon!
We are part of the New Frontiers worldwide family of churches, and are keen supporters of the Christian Union at Reading Uni.
What do we do for students?
We are committed to seeing students integrated into church life, being your spiritual family throughout your time in Reading, and helping you to grow in your own walk with God.
The Student Team, led by student worker Joel Miller, are here to support you with that. Our student activities include:
Student Lunches - Join us each Sunday after the 11.30am meeting for a free lunch in the homes of RFC families. You'll meet other students, the wider church and get a homecooked meal!
Student Lifegroup - Each Wednesday at 7:30pm we gather in a local home just off campus (RG1 5JH) for worship, bible discussion, prayer and to share a meal together.
Student Events - We come together throughout the year to build friendship, grow in our faith and have a lot of fun! Past events include a Bonfire Night, Christmas Parties, Worship Nights and Summer BBQ.
Student Weekend Away (21-23 Feb 2025) - an annual weekend of deepening relationships with one another and God.
We'd also encourage you to get involved in wider RFC life through joining a serving team, lifegroups, mentoring and range of other events.
We're a super friendly church and we welcome you to come and have a look for yourself; if you’re studying here in Reading there’s a place for you at Reading Family Church.
Do reach out on Instagram or to students@readingfamilychurch.org.uk if you'd like to grab a coffee with someone from the Student Team and find out more.
