Whether university is a new adventure, or you’ve been studying in York for a couple of years already, we’d love to tell you how as a student you can be part of our church family.

Joining on Sundays
As a church based in the heart of York, we’re a short distance from both the University of York and York St John University.
- 21 mins from Campus East, University of York
Take the U2 bus to the Edinburgh Arms stop - 28 mins from Market Square, University of York
Walk along Heslington Road, then Kent Street - 27 mins from York St John University
Walk along Foss Islands Road
We welcome new students to our church every year, and we would love to have you join us – whether you’re just starting university, or have been a student here in York for several years.
During the week
We often meet up as a group – sometimes on campus, sometimes in the city centre, and sometimes at the home of one our team.
We’ve have popular weekly coffee catchups on Wednesdays, usually at the St Sampson’s Social Centre on Church Street in the heart of the city.
Meet Josh
Josh Daniel joined York Elim as our Assistant Pastor in 2023, and he is our student contact at York Elim. You may see him helping out at Christian Union events at both universities, or simply around in the city meeting students.
