Who is welcome?
All students are very welcome whether from Southampton or Solent Universities!! There are no restrictions on age, gender, background, football team or any other weird and wonderful categorisation you can think of. We also have some graduates who serve on our Leadership Team and are involved with helping to lead groups, organisation and discipling students.
Will food be provided?
Yes, food is provided for all of our evening groups. You are free to just turn up but it would be really helpful to know that you are coming so that we can get the amount of food we are preparing right (i.e. not too much or even worse too little)!! We will encourage you to sign up to our weekly e-list mail and ask that you let us know each week if you are planning to come. Ordinarily we would expect that if you come for food, you stay for the whole evening.

Being away from home for the first time, it is easy to stumble upon a lot of stormy seas requiring someone to navigate your ship properly. SotonNAVS have done precisely this since the very beginning of my student life in Southampton. There I have found a second family which welcomed me and helped me to integrate better in a new lifestyle. Above all it has been a spiritual family which has helped me to grow in my relationship with God and know him better through his Word. The Thursday studies were one of the few commitments I managed to keep during my whole stay, mainly because it satisfied my thirst to get to know someone who really cares for you no matter how much you mess up. It was really nice to get to know other Christians while having some good food before an informal yet enriching weekly bible study. I will surely treasure the moments of prayer in small groups following each study, since I experienced how accessible our God is and how he works in very personal ways.
