The First Love Society is dedicated to fostering a thriving and inclusive community at Essex. With the primary objective of holding weekly meetings that attract students from diverse backgrounds, we aim to create an environment that is open and welcoming to all, irrespective of their faith or belief system.
Our primary goal is to demonstrate our love for God by showing love towards others, and to provide a network of emotional and spiritual support for students from all walks of life. As well as the Gospel, we are passionate about the creative arts and host events throughout the academic year to exhibit this.
We host Bible studies at 7pm in various accommodations across Essex on Thursdays, for students to grow and develop their understanding of the Bible. Please reach out to the contact below for more details.
