What sort of living set up do the churches usually provide?
It very much depends upon you. Younger students we prefer to place in church families, obviously married students or those with young families we prefer to find independent acommodation for. Then again older students we like to find shared accomodation, if possible with other students or at least Christians of a similar age. If you are in a church family’s home you will live as part of the family, with meals cooked for you, (although the good cooks, we always encourage to serve their host family whenever they can!). If you are in your own accomodation you will be given a food budget for the month. Ultimately though much depends upon local conditions. For instance in a student city, there will bep lenty of student houses you can be placed in. In a more rural setting homes are probably bigger and you may find yourself in an annex. We do though take a lot of care over accomodation because we have found this to be essential to your well being and fruitfulness in both ministry and study.
