Moving to Canberra as a university student is an adventure filled with promise and fresh experiences. Yet, it can also feel daunting at times. For many students, finding a church community that aligns with their faith and values becomes a significant part of settling into this new chapter. Thankfully, Canberra is home to lively and welcoming communities that celebrate diversity and provide numerous opportunities for fellowship.
Explore Your Options
Upon arriving in Canberra, take the time to explore local community right away. It can be easy in the chaos of O week and settling in to 'get lost' in the journey rather than find you crew to walk with in it all. We are naturally biased but we think you should check out Divergent Church Canberra City, near Australian National University Divergent Church North, close to University of Canberra. At each you can find the GenLife Students and Divergent Church Young Adults. This community not only welcome students but are also focused on fostering spiritual growth.
To familiarise yourself, visit the Divergent Canberra social media platforms to discover their activities, service times, and upcoming events. Check out the casual coffee meet-ups or midweek gatherings. These events are perfect for informal networking and making new friends in a relaxed atmosphere.
