Canterbury
churches
Canterbury has a whole range of churches that extend beyond just the ones listed here. Most of the students in our CU attend one of the following churches. As there are so many, we suggest picking three that you like and visit them each in a row through our "Church Search" event (read more here). We like to encourage our students to get stuck in and start serving once you feel that you have found a church were you feel comfortable and at home.
Do ask around at our CU events which churches different students go to if you would like to know more information or simply hear it from the perspective of your friends!
​
Church descriptions will give some more information soon!
