Sundays at 11am
Student Church in Norwich
Studying at UEA or NUA, or just moved to the city? Join us at Alive House, Nelson Street, every Sunday at 11am – with free coffee and breakfast from 10:15am.
A church to call home while you study
Moving to a new city is a lot. Finding a church family is one of the quickest ways to make Norwich feel like home.
Alive Church is a friendly church of all ages near Norwich city centre. Students sit alongside families, grandparents and people who have lived here all their lives, so you won't be the only new face.
Sundays start with free coffee, tea and pastries from 10:15am, and our host team will say hello. The service starts at 11am and lasts 60 to 75 minutes, with worship, teaching from the Bible and prayer.
Afterwards, stick around for more coffee and a chat in our Revive Café.
You don't need to be a Christian, know the songs or dress up. Come as you are.

Questions students ask
Do I have to be a Christian to come?
No. Plenty of people come with questions, doubts or plain curiosity. You're welcome whatever you believe.
Can I come on my own?
Yes, lots of people do. If you plan your visit, a host can meet you at the door so you don't have to walk in alone.
I'm only in Norwich during term. Is that OK?
Of course. Come when you're here. You can watch the Sunday message online when you're away.
What should I wear?
Whatever you'd wear to lectures. You'll see everything from jeans and trainers to dresses and suits.
I'm under 18. Is there something for me?
Yes. Alive Youth is for ages 11 to 18 and meets every Saturday in term time.
