Living for Jesus and speaking for Jesus - Christian Unions exist to give every student in Britain an opportunity to hear and respond to the love of Jesus. Worship with hundreds of CU leaders from across Britain and be trained and equipped to lead your CU well. Forum is essential training for CU leaders.

Equipping

Be equipped and energised to lead your Christian Union with interactive Mission Equipping training tracks and workshops specifically designed for CU leaders.

Celebrating

Hear God speak and meet with Jesus. Our love for Jesus will be the fuel for our mission to the campus. Therefore, we’ll gather together each morning and evening for worship, teaching and ministry in the Arena.

Uniting

You’ll be able to join other Christian Union leaders around Quinta. Meet on The Green, by the lake, around the campfire or in the Forum Café and enjoy time with CUs from your region at the Regional BBQ. We want Forum to be a great time to pray and plan for your CU.

Giving

Jesus loves the whole world and so do we. Chat to international guests, pray and worship during the world mission night and visit all the mission agencies in the Hub. You may make plans to cross cultures for a summer or for a lifetime.

Engaging

There will be bands, acoustic gigs and loads more stuff going on throughout the week during After Hours and Forum Fringe. Engage with the work of our artist-in-residence in The Space; you’ll be inspired to get creative on campus. Love Sports? There will be loads of activities and tournaments during the week.
