About the Christian Chaplaincy
The Christian Chaplaincy offers pastoral care and support, hospitality and community, and a space for questions, uncertainties and dilemmas. Come and explore how faith, love and justice relate to the world of study and work.
We are part of the Belief, No Belief and Religious (BNBR) Life Centre, which is now located at 205 Brook Hill, Sheffield, S3 7HG (next to the University Arms pub).
Check out our Linktree for links to our social media, information about Christian Residential Experience grants, our Deep Search development tool, and much more.
An inclusive community
We offer a warm welcome to all staff and students regardless of gender, sexual orientation, marital status, age, ethnicity, ability or faith identity.
Christian Chaplaincy at the BNBR Life Centre
The Anglican, International and Free Church Chaplains, supported by other Chaplaincy staff, facilitate weekly worship on campus. All students and staff of the University are welcome to attend any of these events. We are rooted in radical welcome and seek to be hospitable and affirming of all - creating a safe, inviting space where everyone is celebrated as a vital part of the community. We aim to ensure events are accessible. We keep learning, and so staff and students are encouraged to co-develop and shape these services.
