English summary


 

The Student Chaplaincy in Tilburg (Student Church Maranatha) offers many activities.

If you are interested in what we offer, please contact us.



Hospitality

Our student chaplaincy has got a very hospitable venue in the Cobbenhagenlaan. For many years this venue has been a place of residence for various student-bodies and study-groups, on special occasions or permanently. We name the Christian Ichthus, the Roman Catholic Peerke Donders, Media Vitae and Sapientia Ludenda of the faculty of humanities, the University Choir Contrast and some Islamic student-bodies, but also many student-year-groups from Fontys.


Internationally we do our bit as well

TUNIC (Tilburg University International Club), GSS (Graduate Student Society) and AEGEE Tilburg (Association des Etats Géneraux des Etudiants de l'Europe) know they can count on us. And did you know that the Maranatha is the TIK-committee HQ during the TIK-week?


A religious oasis in student life

The student chaplaincy is its own independent hostel which shelters a broad variety of student groups to catch their breath in the middle of student life. Also we accommodate happily for lectures, small conferences, meetings, jam-sessions, celebrations like a graduation-party and of course liturgical and of spiritual worship.


Maranatha is a meeting place

Our top priority will always be student-activities. Every year many hundreds of students meet one another in meetings, worship, meals and more in our student chaplaincy. Maranatha is a meeting place. Meeting one another is part of the essence of our existence. Besides group activities we offer the possibility of personal time with our pastor. Everything in the areas of faith, hope and love - everything which has to do with your life - can be subject of such a meeting. There is room for your worries, your vulnerable thoughts, your path-seeking in life, your doubts and uncertainties. Naturally there is room for faith-issues and the things you've found and or seek as your life's principles. The student chaplaincy stands in the centre of daily student-life and evangelisation is a dirty word for us.


Contact us

Call (013)-467.53.02 or e-mail us for an appointment, because you, in your most individualistic way of being, are worth it. The open, Catholic identity of the higher education in Tilburg is not an empty word. At least not yet ... The student chaplaincy is allowed a special place at the University of Tilburg and the Fontys schools in Tilburg. It could become such a place in your life as well.
