YOU BELONG HERE

More Than a Church. A Family.

Starting or continuing university life comes with exciting opportunities, new experiences and unique challenges. At RCCG Calvary Love City Church, we understand that this journey is about more than lectures, assignments and examinations. We are committed to supporting our students as they navigate university life, grow in their relationship with God, discover their purpose and build meaningful connections. Whether you are a new student or already studying in the UK, you have a family at CLC.
