Students at Ebe
We hope that you find a home here at Ebenezer Church (Ebe) and want it to be a place where you feel valued and can serve God. We are totally committed to helping you know more of who God is, what He has done in your life and realise your potential in God. We want to see you equipped to be involved in mission in your student networks as well as in local community or across the city.

Pick n Mix
“Pick n Mix” is a series of interactive sessions aimed at students to develop and deepen your relationship with Jesus and equip you with practical skills to help you grow.
After the Sunday morning service, enjoy dinner at the house of a couple or family from Ebe, then for an hour in a small group setting, we will study the Bible and discuss together. Some of the areas that we look to cover include - How the Old Testament fits together, Jesus in the Old Testament, Life Issues, How to answer difficult questions, Winning Ways friendship evangelism, and open to other areas you would like to cover and see what the Bible has to say.

International Students
We run a weekly international students café called ‘Globe Café’ in partnership with Bristol International Student Centre (BISC) and UWE Christian Union. It happens on Mondays from 6.30 - 8.30pm, at Robusto Cafe, (522 Filton Avenue, Filton). Full details on the Globe Café website - www.globecafe.org.uk

Getting involved
We encourage students to get involved in this local church in many different ways of serving, whether in worship team, children/youth work, The Noise, etc. We want to see people released to use and develop gifts and to see leaders raised up. We also encourage students to be part of a small group (if they are not part of a Christian Union small group) and basically long for you to feel fully integrated into church life.

24-7 Prayer Week
Once a term, we have 24-7 prayer week in the prayer room at Ebe, where we encourage everyone to take an hour slot to pray for church, community and more. Why not come individually or or come as a group or take a night shift? Details here - www.ebe.org.uk/prayer

Going Deeper
Monthly sessions for those who wish to go a lot deeper in their understanding of the Bible and grapple with more theological issues. Lunch followed by a talk and then opportunity for discussion, at the end. From 12.30pm at the church building on Filton Avenue and finishes by 3.00pm. Full details - www.ebe.org.uk/theology.htm

The Alpha Course
The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian Faith. It's relaxed, non-threatening, low key, friendly and fun. Meal followed by a talk and then opportunity for discussion in small groups. Listen, learn, discuss and discover. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile. Next ten week course starts on Wednesday 8th October 2008 at 7.30pm at church building. Sign up online at www.ebe.org.uk/alpha or on the Alpha invitation.

Mentoring
We encourage students to be mentored, which is part of the process of discipleship on a one-to-one level. It is a place for those who want to grow in their Christian faith to be encouraged and challenged; to explore and to be accountable.
