Grizzly bear would win by hiding behind trees and then launching a surprise ambush on the Polar bear who would be overheating from the excitement of a fight!

Was it hard to find a church when you came to Swansea?

What are the free student lunches, after Sunday morning church, at different people’s houses like?
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! Seriously the best meal time in a week

Are you involved at church in any way?
I am currently involved in the Kids Club run by the church on a Friday evening.


What’s it like being a Christian at University?
Without a strong church network it can be really difficult to not only live like a Christian but also to share your faith with others that you meet.


Has being at Waterfront Church helped you in any way?
The church has been a really strong support network giving lots of love and encouragement throughout the year. Has also allowed me to meet lots of likeminded young people too.


As a Christian, what advice would you give new students coming to Swansea?
Find a church as soon as possible! It provides a great way to make roots within Swansea.
