faith & chaplaincy

University chaplains

Learner Support invites the representatives of religious groups onto campus to provide spiritual wellbeing services. We also have a part-time chaplain who supports international students of any faith. 

The services offered include:

• Small group worship;
• Acknowledgements of events in the religious calendar;
• Appointments and drop-in sessions for one-to one spiritual advice and guidance;
• Small group sessions on religious topics to enable people to reflect on their own values and beliefs;
• Quiet reflective space for the individuals or small groups;
• Advice to academics and others on the faith needs of students;
• Inter- faith and faith in the community events.

You are welcome to consult the chaplains whether you are part of their congregation or not.  The chaplains provide care and support to those of any faith or none.  The chaplains are happy to provide pastoral care to University Staff.   At the moment, most major Christian denominations are represented by chaplains as well as an Imam and a Rabbi.

If your religion is not represented and you would like to talk about working with us, please ask an appropriate representative of your religious group to contact faith@gcu.ac.uk.  Not all religions choose to have a close working relationship with us and some choose to operate by forming a Students’ Association Group. These Groups are also welcome to discuss their activities.
