Ministries: University

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 welfare of our city. Therefore, the University Ministry is one of our largest and most creative ministries.

Convinced that spiritual growth and care occur most effectively in a community, we offer a number of Community Groups specifically for university students of seven different campuses in the Boston area. We design these groups to be ministry-balanced, aiming to pursue gospel-centered focus to love one another and to practically and consistently care for our campuses and city. In other words, they focus not only on spiritual maturity and care but also on mercy and outreach. We also make an effort to see the gospel shape the way students study and pursue their future vocations because we believe Monday through Saturday matters just as much as Sunday. These community groups meet on various nights throughout the week on or near campuses (see the list on the right of the page). Email andrew@citylifeboston.org for more info about these groups.

We also care about getting everyone together regularly! Below are the large group events happening this year.
