NCS has two main types of small group – first year groups and “M-Teams”.
.
.
.
The purpose First Year Groups is to strengthen students in our knowledge of God and to provide personal support as students seek to live for Christ at uni. There are a number of time slots, so pick the one which best suits you, and send us an email!
.
As the name suggests, First Year Groups are especially for students in their first year at university. However senior students are also welcome to join.
.
Here’s a list of our first year groups for second semester, 2011, with contact email addresses:

.
M-Teams are designed to help students live and speak boldly for Christ.
.
Each team gathers a bunch of students who share a common desire to reach a particular segment of the uni. Over the course of the year, we’ll pray for Newcastle Uni and together seek opportunities to speak the gracious message of salvation.
.
