Community Events

BTC is not a residential college but it seeks to foster community life among students and staff. Opportunities for shared meals and for community worship and prayer are a core part of the College programme.

BTC seeks to foster community life among students and staff. Opportunities for shared meals and for community worship and prayer are a core part of the College programme.


Prayer and times of shared worship are essential to our College life as an intentional Christian
community of study. We encourage all students to participate in daily prayer and worship as well as regular Chapel services, as they are able.


Daily Prayer: Daily Prayers are held Monday to Wednesday at 8.45am (Tutorial Room 1).


Monthly chapel service: All Saints Tibble Room: 11am–12pm. The service is followed by lunch
provided by BTC at the College. All welcome. 


Weekly BYO lunch: Monday at 1pm. It is good for us to gather together around the meal table on some sort of regular basis. This is also an occasion for notices, announcements and (most importantly) celebrations!
