New Students

Welcome to Skåne

We’re so excited to welcome all new students to Lund University, Malmö University, and other higher learning institutions in Skåne! Whether you’ve traveled across the globe or just from down the road, we’re delighted to have you as part of our Pingstkyrkan family.

We know that starting university is a huge step – full of both excitement and challenges – and we’re here to support you. As you settle into student life here, we’d love for you to join us for a time of fellowship, service, and growth in your faith.

What can new students expect at Pentecost International?

We welcome international and local students year-round. Starting university in a new city or country brings great opportunities and challenges—we are here to ensure you do not feel alone.

At our fellowship, you will find:

  • English Worship & Teaching: Services designed for a multicultural community.
  • Student Community: A warm environment to meet fellow students, families and long-term Lund residents.
  • Fellowship & Fika: Time to chat, relax, and build genuine friendships after every gathering.

When are the worship services and church gatherings?

We meet every week for worship, teaching, and prayer. The first week of the month is our joint weeks – where we meet together with other language groups in the church. During joint meetings, english translation is available when main language is not English.

English fellowships (Weeks 2 – 5):

  • Sunday Service : Every Sunday at 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM.
  • Midweek Service: Wednesdays (weeks 2–5) from 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM.

Joint Fellowships (Week 1):

  • Joint Sunday Service with English Translation: 1st Sunday of every month at 11:00 AM.
  • Joint Midweek Service: 1st Tuesday of the month from 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM.

How can I join a student small group or Bible study?

The Young Adults Group of the church is the heart of our student community. They meet together in homes or at the church to dive into Scripture, discuss real-life student & early career issues, pray together, and share meals.

Throughout the academic year, we organize social activities, welcome dinners, game nights, worship nights, and outdoor gatherings designed to help you balance your studies with personal growth and spiritual community.

How can I get support, advice, or prayer as a student?

Many of our leaders and church members are former international students who understand the adjustment to life in Sweden. If you need practical advice, someone to talk to, or prayer during exam season, our pastoral care team is available for you.

Can I volunteer and serve while studying in Lund?

Yes! Volunteering in church is one of the ways we worship God. It is also a great way to make friends, gain experience, and contribute to the local community. You can get involved in worship music, media/tech, welcoming teams, or local community outreach (such as food distribution).

How do I get in touch with the student ministry team?

We invite you to explore our website and social media channels to stay updated on upcoming events and learn more about our church.

Remember, you are not alone in this journey! We look forward to getting to know you and helping you feel at home in Lund. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
