The Selly Park area has a lot of housing suitable for students and young adults embarking on their careers. Christ Church has an increasing number of members in the 18-30ish age bracket and a group has been formed specifically to cater for their needs and interests.
Nexus
The name (which means 'a bond or linked group') gives an idea of our aim - to link up and provide a social network for students, including international students, and other young adults. Members are not expected to commit themselves to being at church each week, and may be anywhere on their spiritual journey. The group currently has about 20 members.
Nexus is co-ordinated by Martin and Dilys Garrod: “We have children in the 18+ age group who are living away from home. We enjoy opening up our home to others, and have hosted a number of social events.”

Our youth worker, Ellen Eagling, is also part of the group, and hosts a home group for Nexus members on Thursday evenings.
Please contact us if you want to find out more about the group and our activities.
