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 first semester, 2012, 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.
If you’re interested in finding out about M-Teams that aren’t listed below or in starting a new M-Team, please contact Martin Shadwick – e: martinshadwick {at} gmail(.)com p: 0448 005 427.
