Description
The Liverpool Orthodox Christian Society is a welcoming and inclusive community designed
for students of all backgrounds to explore and deepen their understanding of the Orthodox Christian faith. Whether you already identify as Orthodox or are simply curious to learn more, this society offers a warm space for spiritual growth, fellowship, and shared learning. Our activities combine faith, culture, education, and social connection, helping students connect with one another and with the rich traditions of Orthodoxy during their time at university.
About Us
Welcome to the Liverpool Orthodox Christian Society! We provide a friendly, open environment where students—Orthodox or not—can come together to learn about and experience the Orthodox Christian faith. Our society supports both those who are already practicing Orthodox Christians looking to enrich their spiritual lives, and those who are interested in exploring Orthodoxy for the first time. We offer a wide range of activities throughout the year including pilgrimages to significant Orthodox sites across the UK, thoughtful book clubs, engaging movie nights, and talks from guest speakers who help deepen our knowledge of faith and tradition. Our members regularly attend services at the nearby Church of St. Elisabeth the New-Martyr (ROCOR) in Wallasey, and St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Liverpool, creating opportunities to connect faith and community beyond campus.
Key Information
The society meets regularly throughout the academic year, organising a variety of faith-based, cultural, and social events.
