Welcome to the Essence page! Essence is our network for 18-25yr olds at ENC. We are a diverse mixture of students and young adults who are excited about Worshipping God, being filled with the Holy Spirit and are on a mission to reach the city and the campus with His love in creative ways! Essence meets in term time on Thursday evenings at 7.00pm (for a 7.30pm start) at St Stephen’s Church, right in the centre of the city, and we’d absolutely love you to come and join us.

We are Nathan and Lucy, the student leaders for Essence. We have been part of ENC for around 5 years, and having been part of the Essence community for the last year. We are super excited for the new year and term and looking forward to meeting newbies to Exeter. We’ve got loads planned and we are excited to be a part of all that God is doing in our 18-25s community here in Exeter. Check out the insta page for more info!
