Student weekend away
6th - 8th feburary 2026
This February we're going away for our first ever student weekend away! We'll be retreating for a few days from city life to stay at The Jonas Centre in the Yorkshire Dales. It'll be an opportunity to recharge, refresh, and refocus. We're expecting this to be a time for real deepening of our student community and we're looking forward to extended times of worship, Bible, resting and fun!
Find a place to call home
Welcoming and reaching students has always been at the heart of who we are and we’d love to help you find a place to call home. We believe you’re not just in Manchester to study, but also to grow in all that God’s made you to be and to play your part in God’s Kingdom advancing.
We’ve got a lot going on for students and we want to help students get involved in every area of church life - from serving on Sundays to leading home groups and discipling others.
Our Sunday venue is right in the middle of student living and a 10-minute walk from Whitworth Park, so we should be easy for you to find. We’d love for you to pay us a visit soon, or even better say hello through our Connect form so we can get to know you before you come!
Here’s what we’ve got going on in Autumn 2025…
What’s on...
Pursuit!
22nd Nov - Click here for tickets
Pursuit Conference is a day conference for Young Adults across Grace Connection churches. At the heart of Pursuit Conference is a desire to chase after God with everything we've got and spurring one another on as we run this race together. We'll gather young adults from across five cities – Nottingham, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Leicester – to encounter Jesus and be shaped by Him.
Student Socials
Being family means having fun together. Socials are a great way to meet new people & get quality time together. From cosy board game nights to big outdoor fun, we’ve got a lot planned. Follow us on socials for more detailed information.
Most socials will be in the afternoon/evening on
