Our work

‘All year I’ve kept finding myself in great conversations about faith with my flat mates and coursemates. Often I’m not even looking for the conversation; they just ask. Is that because university just throws these kinds of things up for people? Or has God unusually given me lots of opportunities?’ – Salford University student

Stories like this can be told by countless students across Great Britian. And we rejoice in the unique mission field that God is working in – the university.

A recent survey found that nearly half of students do not believe Jesus existed, nor know someone who is a practising Christian. Christian students are uniquely placed to introduce other students to Jesus.

For over a century UCCF has trained generations of students to live and speak for Jesus at their university, and seen thousands come to faith through the CUs. With your support, CU ministry across Great Britain continues to reach many with the gospel.

The changing face of student mission

Students continue to be best placed to reach other students but the landscape around them is always changing. Here’s how CU mission has adapted.

Our mission

Christian Unions are mission teams that operate at the heart of university and college campuses. Our mission? To give every student an opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel.

Directors Update

No-one ever feels like they’re living in a ‘golden age’ when they are part of it.

History tells us that even the most golden of ages have had plenty to tarnish them. Nevertheless, I wonder whether, in the future, we might look back on this period as a kind of ‘golden age’ of student ministry.
