The plan is to then start up a support group for 18 to 30s / students to help them practically, emotionally and spiritually during their time here in Bournemouth. We have lots of ideas, but we don’t yet have a set agenda or timetable, and this gives us the freedom to design the group around you, making it what you want it to be and meeting at a time that best suits you.

Michelle and Mark are ready and waiting to greet UK students to Richmond Park Church! Mark graduated with a degree in Drama from Winchester Uni in 2008, and Michelle graduated from the University of Kent many many years ago, in 1995, with a degree in History and Politics. Both are missing their student days and would like to re-live the experience vicariously through an influx of 18 to 30s at RPC. They remember the highs and lows of student life, love Jesus, and would love to share their great wealth of wisdom and knowledge about the Christian walk with other eager young minds.

We are well known to international students, but "home grown" 18- 30s are currently missing from our congregation, and we would love to have some of you join us.

Richmond Park Church is a relaxed Bible-focused independent church situated in Boscombe (a 10 minute walk from McDonalds). We've got a congregation of around 60 people, so we’re not so small we've only got one row of chairs, but we're not big enough for you to get lost in the crowd!

Hi and Welcome to our 18-30s / UK Students Page!

We would like to offer ourselves as a home-from-home church for students, with the God inspired intention of setting up a dedicated 18 to 30s / Student Group in the near future.

richmondparkchurch.org.uk an evangelical pentecostal church in Boscombe, Bournemouth, Dorset, UK.

We continue as the Holy Spirit leads, usually ending with a short Bible study, but if the need arises, we continue to minister as the Holy Spirit has directed us. The meeting finishes at approx 10pm.

This will form the theme for the evening. The meeting is now open to all and sundry! Everyone is free to comment on what this word is saying to them and express their particular requests for prayer, etc. When everyone who wishes has had thier say, we will move as the Holy Spirit leads into a time of prayer and worship, praising and praying for the issues that may have come to light during our discussion. We will also pray for the various outreaches that we, as a church, are currently involved in, and for direction in our own lives.

The Care Group is exactly what it says: a place where we can care, pray, learn and encourage each other in the use of the gifts that God has bestowed upon us, without any fear that we may "get it wrong" sometimes, building our lives on the Bible and particularly the teachings of Jesus. The evening begins, as in all Care Groups, with tea, coffee, biscuits or cake, and chat. After this time (between 20-30 mins) Len or another member of the group will read a verse or passage of Scripture that has been given them and has focused their thoughts at some point.

Len & Barabara's group (North Bournemouth): The aim of our group is to develop along the lines of Paul's directions to Timothy: "The things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men (and women) who will be qualified to teach others." (2Timothy 2:2) and "prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up" (Ephesians 4: 12). In other words, to go and make disciples! We need to be equipped to pass on our faith!

We also have a strong desire to spread the "good news" to others and to this end we have social evenings from time to time on a Friday at an outside venue at which we introduce for a few minutes a little "food for thought". During this short interval in the evening, when we also enjoy a delicious buffet, we give a small "taster" of the Christian life in a light-hearted manner. So far we have enjoyed two entertaining skittles evenings and one fun quiz evening which have all been very well received. We eagerly await our next event where we have the privilege of showing God's love to others.

Colin & Pauline's group (Boscombe) aim is to "grow in the knowledge of God" as we study His word, share our experiences and pray and worship together in a very relaxed and informal atmosphere. A sense of humour, having fun and a liking for biscuits would describe us quite well! But we are serious about caring for each other.

We have 2 BSL (British Sign Language for the deaf) signers in our group who interpret for our deaf members. And we like to have an excuse to celebrate meals together in one or another of the local restaurant (anyone for an Indian?).

Encouragement is a key element of this group, encouraging one another in our relationship with the Father, and with each other. Also encouraging one another to tell people about Jesus through our actions and words. We ususally then move into prayer, followed by discussion time revolving round a Bible passage or theme. We have just finished going through a course, 'Life in a New Dimension" by Selwyn Hughes, which took us about 18 months to complete, at the rate of a page a night as everybody had so much to contribute!

Geof and Jan's Care group (Boscombe East) starts with tea, coffee & biscuits (or cake if it's someone's birthday!), and then about half an hour into the evening Geof begins by asking everyone if they have anything encouraging to say about the past week - anything that has happened to them or somebody they have met, or something they have heard about through the media, etc.

richmondparkchurch.org.uk an evangelical pentecostal church in Boscombe, Bournemouth, Dorset, UK.

During the time together we pray for each other and share the ways in which God has been shaping our lives. there's always a time of teaching and discussion centred upon the Bible which gives an opportunity to ask important and challenging questions as we grapple with growing in the love of God and serving one another. We also enjoy celebrating particular family events and additional social activities such as barbeques.

Dave & Hae Sook's group (Littledown) is wonderfully diverse in both age and background. We always begin our evening with tea, coffee and cake, and an opportunity to unwind after a busy day.

The main aim of these groups is to encourage one another to grow in our faith and to look at ways in which to support each other in our daily lives.
