We’re so glad you’ve found us! We would love to welcome you into our church family while you’re here studying in Exeter, whether you’re investigating Christianity for the first time or striving to live for Jesus while at uni.

Our aim in short is:

• to live for Christ

• to make Him known

St Leonard’s is dedicated to students and we take this role seriously. University can be an exciting and challenging time and we aim to help you make the most of the opportunities. You may arrive in Exeter as a Christian wanting to live for Jesus at university, or you may be exploring the Christian faith for the first time. Whoever you are, we’re here to help you get to grips with God’s word, the Bible, live in light of it, and be equipped to go on trusting and serving Jesus for a lifetime after University.

Say hello!

The student team would love to hear from you if you have any questions, would like more info or just to say hi! We would love to be able to look out for you at the beginning of term.

Sunday services

We have two services each Sunday: 10:30am and 6:30pm. You are very welcome at any service: we will hear from God’s Word, pray together and sing hymns and songs. In the morning there is usually the opportunity to get involved with the wider church family by helping out in the youth and children’s groups.

Focus

We meet at 7pm at church for dinner and Bible study in small groups. This year we’re studying Mark’s Gospel. Focus is a wonderful way to be challenged by God’s word and encouraged to live for him at University. Check the calendar for exact dates.

Tea & Toasties

Space to hang out after evening church on the first and third Sundays of each month with tea, toasties and table tennis.

Welcome suppers

Join us after the evening service — we’d love to meet you! We’ll have some toasties and the chance find out what being a student at St Leonard’s looks like.

Christmas party

Sometimes formal, sometimes chilled vibes, always good food and good fun, not to be missed.

Student Getaway

Our annual weekend away in second term offers a chance to grow friendships and make new ones. We have a series of Bible talks and seminars as well as time to get on our wellies and explore the surrounding countryside.

End of year BBQ

We wouldn’t let you leave for summer without rounding the year off properly with a BBQ, hosted by a church family, come rain or shine!

Leavers’ Weekend

A final hurrah for those graduating, giving an opportunity to say a proper goodbye and to think through some of the new challenges on the horizon.

Reading Week

A week away in Cornwall for returning 2nd and 3rd years before the year kicks off to catch up, spend time reading and discussing a Christian book and hit the beach! See Instagram for details and booking link.
