Essence is our 18-25s Network at ENC. We are a community of students and young adults who believe we are called to keep our hearts clean but get our hands dirty.

Whether you're a Christian, just looking at what you believe in, a student or in full time work, it's a place to explore God, worship of Him as a lifestyle, learn more about His empowering spirit in your life and discover ways to practically live out your faith in Jesus Christ.

Essence meets on a Wednesday evening at the X- Centre down on the quay (EX2 4AD). Come at 6:30pm, and you'll get a meal at the bargain price of £2 (free for first timers). The evening usually involves food, worship and teaching.

There is lots to get involved in at ENC both through Essence and the wider church (Kids works, Prison Ministry, Worship, Healing on the Streets...just a few examples!!) We are excited about what each person can bring to the community and we are always open to new ideas. We want to support you too, so we run something called 4mation Groups ...follow the link for more information

It is important for us to be a part of the wider ENC family, so we'd love you to join us at the 7pm service (5pm every 2nd Sunday of the month) gathering at Maynard's School (EX1 1SJ). For tea and cake some at 6ish
