Finding a church as a student can feel daunting, but Leeds Minster is a fantastic place to call your spiritual home while at uni. It’s more than just a historical landmark; we are a living, breathing community that uniquely blends traditional worship with a welcoming atmosphere.
As a vibrant university city, Leeds is packed with churches – so what makes Leeds Minster a great choice for students?
The Minster has been a place of worship for centuries, offering a powerful sense of connection to Leeds history. But our community is far from stuck in the past.
We offer services ranging from traditional Eucharist and Choral Evensong, to more relaxed Monthly Prayer, and quiet guided Christian meditation at Still gatherings. You’re sure to find something to suit whatever you need on your journey of faith – uplifting worship to carry you through the week, or a moment of stillness during the storms of life.
We are a diverse community, with people of all ages and walks of life in our congregation. Many people struggle to break out of the ‘student bubble’ during their time at university, but church is a great place to make intergenerational friendships and find a ‘home away from home’ in the Minster family.
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the community beyond just attending our Sunday services. We hold regular study groups throughout the year to deepen faith as we learn and grow together, as well as opportunities to volunteer welcoming visitors to the Minster through the week.
A short walk from most university campuses, and right across the road from Leeds Bus Station, Leeds Minster is incredibly easy to get to, whether you’re living in halls or student accommodation.
If you’re a singer, the Minster’s music programme is exceptional. The Choir is an all-adult ensemble, and there are even choral scholarships available for talented singers. It’s a brilliant way to be part of the community and use your gifts.
We seek to create a welcoming space, whether you’re a lifelong Christian or just curious about faith. Leeds Minster is for everyone, regardless of your background or where you are on your faith journey. It’s a space to explore questions, find community, and grow in your relationship with God.
So, if you’re a student looking for a church in Leeds, consider visiting Leeds Minster. Inside these historic walls, our active and welcoming community is ready to help you feel at home in your new city.
