Most of the students at G2 are away for the summer and many are involved in mission events, camps and interesting trips.
Here’s what some of the students at G2 are up to …

It has been fantastic to see different people getting to know one another in G2 recently. The student lunches have been part of this, but they are only a drop on the ocean of what is possible.
G2 is a community. There is a tangible sense of belonging and ‘family’ at G2 that you may have felt. For this to continue to develop it is important that we don’t prioritise certain people groups over others. Recently, we have focused on students and families, but G2 is much broader than that and we need to work together as a community to ensure everyone is included.
I have heard of some really exciting things that are helping to build friendships across G2’s community. One couple are going to cook for three extra people at Sunday lunch and invite the first three takers at G2. Other working people have said they would like to have students over for lunch and not let the families have all the fun!
So what ways can you get involved in this? G2 is not going to organise lots of things centrally. The student lunches are just to get the ball rolling. Once you get the hospitality bug you can’t stop. Could you invite some people from G2 to sunday lunch? Could you cook for more than just you? Perhaps there are some students who could host some graduates?
Let’s be generous with our hospitality and friendships. If there is a bridge that needs building – perhaps you are the one to build it.
G2 is now officially connected to Fusion. You may of heard of Fusion already. Luke Smith works for them when he is not working with G2.
Fusion will help to train those at G2 who work with students and will provide resources to help us develop our student mission. They also help to connect sixth formers all over the country to churches in the city where they go to uni.
Fusion are a great organisation and we share a lot in common with them. We are confident that connection to Fusion will have lots of positive knock on effects through out what we do.
For more information on what they do, have a look at the Fusion website here.
G2 Leadership Team
Every summer, St Michael le Belfrey hosts a student mission to the city. The vision is that students from churches all over York – and beyond – get together to get the news of Jesus out of our church buildings and onto the streets.
G2’s very own Luke Smith has written a short article about student life for yorkstudents.org.
