Forum North West

Get started in CU leadership by being trained and equipped along with other Christian Union leaders in the NW region.

At Forum North West you will grow your vision for God's mission on your campus through our main sessions. Our speaker this year is Sam Chanda, a Pastor at Lighthouse Church in Manchester. Sam leads the student ministry at Lighthouse and has a vision for building the church of tomorrow today.

By being together with leaders from other CUs, you will be able to share your best ideas and come away with new ones. You will also be practically empowered for your role through training led by our team of experienced CU Staff Workers.

Whether you are on committee, an Impact Group Leader, thinking about standing for election, or simply an enthusiastic extra pair of hands in your CU, Forum North West will inspire and equip you for making Jesus known in the year ahead.
