The greater Boston area boasts more than 60 campuses, comprising over 1/4 of Boston’s population. This means that caring for Boston’s students is essential to pursuing the good and welfare of our city. The University Ministry exists to be a diverse, gospel-shaped community for our campuses and our city.
We are made up of students from various schools in and around Boston – including Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern University, Harvard College, MIT, Suffolk University, Emerson College, New England Conservatory, Berklee College, Wellesley College, Bentley University, and more! All students are welcome!
Get Involved
SUNDAYs
Students from all over the city gather together at one of Citylife’s two weekly worship services at our Boston or Chestnut Hill campus.
City Night Fellowship
Because Citylife is one church made up of students from multiple campuses, we gather monthly to develop meaningful relationships with students across campuses in our city. One Thursday a month, we gather for dinner, worship, discussion, and Bible teaching. This is a space where Christians and skeptics are welcome to explore Christianity together and experience the gospel in Christian community.
WHEN: Thursday Nights @ 7 – 9 pm : 1/30, 2/20, 3/26, 4/30
WHERE: Ruggles Baptist Church, 874 Beacon St, Boston, MA 02215 (minutes from Saint Mary’s St. T- stop or Fenway T-stop)
CAMPUS COMMUNITY GROUP
College campuses often feel like “a city within a city.” They have their own culture, their own landmarks, and their own unique demographic. And we believe that the campus is one of the best contexts for evangelism, discipleship, and community formation. We meet every week on our campus to share life together and grow deeper in our faith with God. We are communities that do not exist for ourselves, but for others – by seeking to express a visible witness of the gospel to our campuses through both word and deed.
If you would like to get involved in one of our U.M. campus community groups, view the map below, email the community group contact person and show up!
