Who are we?
studentNAVS is a part of The Navigators, an international Christian organisation which currently has over 4000 staff working in more than 100 counties worldwide. (If you are familiar with The Message Bible published by NavPress then that's us) In the UK the Navigators work in a variety of contexts amongst: students, graduates, local churches, business & professionals, families and communities.
You'll find us helping students learn the basics of the Christian life, live out and share their faith, balance priorities, develop a strong prayer and devotional life, and grow in Christ-like character. We help students to develop an understanding of Scriptural truth and how it applies to their daily lives: in lectures, on campus, in hall, during nights out and in clubs and societies. We host social gatherings, easy for mates to be involved in, that strengthen relationships and provide fun and challenging ways for students to grow spiritually. We also host retreats, training conferences and international summer programmes.
Many students are away from home for the first time. They face new opportunities new fears, new pressures and new pitfalls. University is a significant time of personal growth. Students learn about themselves, learn about their world, and learn to be tomorrow's leaders. Many of the values and convictions that they will hold for life are shaped during their time at university. studentNAVS helps students develop character, skills and vision to make a difference for God's kingdom through university and for the rest of their lives.
We help students to investigate, consider Christ and come to Him. We coach them to grow in Him, and teach them how to invest their lives in others. Developing a generational ministry which multiplies through life.
Our university ministries are often led by husband-and-wife teams. They use their homes, creativity and talents to reach students for Christ and disciple them in their faith.
The Navigators is a member of The Evangelical Alliance / Global Connections
