Well it seems to me that summer time always  goes a bit too quick. BUT as the days get shorter, the cold creeps its way back in and it gets that little bit more rainy, be comforted by the fact that:

YOU’RE COMING TO YORK SOON!!

We are proper excited by you all coming to York, both new and old. So find a cheeky bit of info on this page to see what we are about and we shall see you all soon.

Freshers? – Welcome to the greatest city in England. I have no way of backing that claim up but it is a fantastic place. Allow me to introduce our student team.

Gav Loftus

- He may be from Northern Ireland but let’s not hold that against him. Gav came to York  3 years ago to study Maths and loves York so much he is staying. Once you manage to understand his accent you’ll find he is a big rugby fan, poor golfer, and generally loves a bit of banter. He is passionate about sharing Jesus among this generation.

  Ellie Matthews

- Ellie is staying on the student team for her second year and will be particularly working with international students. She studied Biology at York Uni and is originally from Manchester although grew up in France.  She loves Thai food, attempting to learn new languages and is inept at every kind of sport!

Natasha Tranter

- Also known as Tash, Tasha, Tranty Pants, Banter, Archbishop of Banterbury, and our personal favourite Trantersauros Rex. Originally from Essex she migrated north to study at York Uni. She joins our student team this year and is very excited to hang out and help you live for Jesus in the everyday. She’s always up for a laugh and loves meeting new people, so bring yourself and your mates to hang out.

Have look below to see what were about.

 Returning Students? – Hope you have all had a great summer, it’ll be lovely to see you all once again. Only a few weeks now… BOOM!

WHO ARE WE?

Why do we care about students? - University is such a great laugh and also a big part of growing up and becoming who you want to be. It’s an opportunity to really decide who you are and what you’re about.  You’re also at an almost unique opportunity to be sharing your faith with your peers and university can be a great time of spiritual awakening and discovery for many people. So we want to encourage and share this experience with you. We help you grow strong in your faith so you leave (or maybe not) York confident in your beliefs.

G2 is not just about meeting on a Sunday

Its about being a living community who live out normal lives, discovering more about and following Jesus as we go. Here’s a short list of some of the stuff we do

Cells – These are small community groups which meet weekly – this is a chance to get stuck in with some friends, to support each other, challenge each other and learn together.  We have student-only cells and mixed cells.

Cluster – Every so often G2 get together and do mission - they hang out with friends, they do stuff off campus, they do stuff on campus.  This is
a place to have time together, with us and our mates.

Discipling Relationships – Let’s face it, being a christian is sometimes hard. We have plenty of older church members with a wealth of knowledge that can get alongside you and help you in your walk with Jesus.

Sunday gathering – On Sundays we gather together with others who call G2 home, to learn together, spend time together and to worship our God together.  Sunday aims to be accessible for anyone to come along, so get inviting!

Leadership
Students aren’t just the leaders of tomorrow, you’re leading now. As Christians we are called to lead people to Christ. So at G2 we invest in this. Whether it is leading from the front, backstage, or in the everyday we want to release you into this. Its important to us to get you guys stuck in in areas where you can learn, grow, and step up in leading others.  All areas of church life are open for students to get involved in and we love it, so go for it, grab a welcome pack and see some of the ways you can get stuck in and lead.

Just plain old hanging out  – We want to built genuine relationships, to support each other in our day to day lives and and have a good giggle along the way.
Our student team will be around on campus, hanging out with students, sometimes one on one, sometimes with whoever shows up – G2 students, their friends, or random others who are around and about the place.  Get in touch if you fancy a coffee, genuinely – they’ll coffee with anyone and everyone! :)

For more info, get in touch, or come along!  (or both!!) :)
