Welcome week dates 2025

Whether moving to a new country or simply a new city, the move to university is a significant one. While many students are excited, this big move can be unsettling and can make some feel insecure.

This includes Christian students. It is a great encouragement to find friendly older students in the CU in their new cities. CUs can help them navigate starting university, find a church in their new city, and begin to live and speak for Jesus there.

There are also genuine seekers arriving as new students. As Christian students grow lasting friendships with them, and demonstrate that the CU is a safe place to find a welcome and ask questions, some will eventually find faith in Jesus for themselves.

Most CUs hope to invite new students into Impact Groups, where they’ll grow in friendship and explore the gospel together.

Pray that God leads CU students’ steps as they connect and befriend new students. Pray that, as a result, Christian freshers are moved to live and speak faithfully and attractively among their friends – and that many seekers eventually come to find life in Jesus.
