Forum South East

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

At Forum South East you will grow your vision for God's mission on your campus through our main sessions. Our speaker this year is Ben Harding, UCCF's Director of Ministry Operations. Ben was a student at King's College London studying theology before he joined UCCF as a Staff Worker in the Midlands, helping CUs share Jesus on campus. For a number of years he also used to head up UCCF's Relay programme - a year of discipleship, mission, and training for graduates in a CU context. We're excited to hear what he'll be sharing from the Book of Nehemiah!

By being together with leaders from other CUs, you will be able to share your best ideas and come away with new ones. Through seminars, worship, testimonies, free time to have fun together, and time to reflect, you will be practically empowered for your role as part of a team in your CU.

This is for you if you're a CU leader in anyway - whether you are on committee, an Impact Group Leader, an Events Week planning team, thinking about standing for election, or simply an enthusiastic person in your CU! Forum South East will inspire and equip you for making Jesus known in the year ahead.
