Ichthus Student Group

Ichthus is St. Peter’s group for students and young adults. We are a diverse mixture of students from Kent and Christ Church universities, international students at English language schools, and young adults working and living in Canterbury. We come from many kinds of churches, communities, and backgrounds to explore our faith or the possibility of faith together. Friends of all religions or none are welcome!

We meet Thursdays during term time at 8pm in the upper room. Join us for spiritual discussion and Bible study, as well as film nights, music nights, games, cooking and much more! Previously we have explored a myriad of spiritual gifts through creative workshops, studied the Lord’s Prayer and other “famous” prayers in the Bible, dug into the book of Jonah, and considered Jesus' radical claims about his divinity, as well as going bowling, having BBQs, pancake parties, quiz nights, to name a few. We've enjoyed visiting the campuses to worship with other Christian groups.  We look forward to more home-cooked lunches after Sunday morning services, generously provided by our “term-time parents” in the church community.
