Greetings from the Free Church Chaplain at UEA, the Revd. Neil Walker. Neil is not available at present due to family circumstances, but there will be someone in his office temporarily on Mondays and on Tuesday mornings to stand in for him. 
 

  Offering friendship and support

  Listening to your concerns

  Helping to meet your spiritual and religious needs

At the heart of the campus, the Chaplaincy provides a vibrant space for all members of the University community.  You can come here to relax, enjoy light refreshments, or spend time in public worship or quiet thought.  It’s a popular gathering place that welcomes students and staff of any or no faith.

The Chaplaincy team are always glad to meet students and staff socially and pastorally.  As a valued part of the University’s welfare network, the chaplains offer everyone a sympathetic ear in total confidence.

The Free Churches are part of the UEA Chaplaincy, which is there for all UEA students and staff - of all faiths or none.  The Free Church chaplain on the UEA Chaplaincy Team is Reverend Neil Walker.
