The Campus
In order to reach university students we need to be accessible and visible for them, this is why we intentionally host our Sunday gatherings right on campus. By hosting our gatherings on campus we can better reach students who are not believers as they might not consider exploring faith or spirituality without it being visible and accessible. In addition to Sundays, Simple Churches also visit campus regularly to do evangelism talking to students about faith, sharing the Gospel, and providing invitations into a church family.
“Before fully surrendering my life to Jesus, I struggled deeply with my mental health, identity, and sense of purpose. I went through a long season of isolation where I felt completely alone and overwhelmed by my thoughts. Despite trying to fix things on my own, nothing brought real peace—until I began to pray daily and truly surrendered everything to Jesus. I realized that if I believed in His life, death, and resurrection, then I had to believe everything else He said too—including His promises for my life. This changed everything. Signing up for a Simple Church, even without knowing what it was at the time, led me to a community that embodied His love. Through scripture and this church family, I’ve come to know Jesus more personally as my Savior and the only One who gives true purpose.”
The City
Serve Our City (SOC) is how Simple Churches go to reach and serve those living in vulnerable communities by addressing physical, spiritual, and relational needs. Many SOC initiatives started organically by students with a heart to love their neighbours. SOC provides opportunities both for students and for peers exploring faith to learn more about Jesus and what it means to be a servant of Him.
Here are our active serving initiatives:
Today, Simple Churches meet weekly to prepare a meal, build relationships with community members, run sports and crafts with kids, and lead a Bible study.
In 2025 Western caught on to this simple idea and began running their own Mobile Ministries in London.
