Boasting approximately sixty colleges and universities, Boston is, in many ways, a community of students and scholars. If Citylife is to reflect the demographics of Boston, we know that we must be a community that embraces and nurtures its students. If our church is to see the Gospel impact the hearts and lives of Bostonians, we must also take the Gospel to local campuses. Citylife's University Ministry provides a community of love for college students through weekly bible study, fellowship activities, and outreach opportunities. Rides are also available from some campuses. If you are a college student or know a student who might be interested in joining us, email college@citylifeboston.org.

On the first and third Fridays of each month, the entire University Ministry comes together for The Crossroads. It is a time to investigate the Christian faith and explore the claims of the gospel both for students who have professed faith as well as skeptics who are mildly curious about Christianity. This is a great place to bring your friends who might be open to Christianity but still has doubts. There will be plenty of food provided afterwards, so come out, stick around and meet students from all over the city! Things get started at 7:30pm.

We meet at the Old South Church (645 Boylston St, Boston, MA).

This semester’s theme is Pursuit of the Other.
Join us for an exploration into the depths of human relationships.

9/26: Making Sense of the Self
10/24: The Necessity of Friendship
11/14: The Joy and Pain of Sexuality
12/5: Preserving Marriage

We believe that Christian discipleship and growth is best carried out in community; therefore, Citylife is committed to nurturing its people through opportunities of mutual support, practical love & service, fellowship (food & fun), and learning about the Christian faith. They are the primary place for pastoral care where we can embody the gospel through kingdom priorities. If you are not already in a Community Group, we encourage you to contact the leader of the CG nearest you or email college@citylifeboston.org

The University Ministry is always looking for ways to help our students connect with one another in fun and meaningful ways. Understanding that community doesn't just happen, and that spiritual community often begins with simple friendships and shared experiences, we seek to do what we can to provide a variety events to help people to feel very much at home in our community. These are just a few that are coming up soon. Mark your calendars and bring a friend!
