About Us - Who We Are
We are a bunch of students who are all very different and individual but have something in common - we love Jesus. We want to live and speak for Him in our university, and to support and encourage each other in doing it.

We are passionate about telling students the good news of Jesus. We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross so that we can be forgiven for all the things that we have done wrong, and so that we can enjoy a right relationship with God both now and for eternity. We don’t earn this but receive it as a gift given freely by the Grace of God alone. We try to live everyday in a relationship with Jesus, but we recognise that we fall short all the time. Together though we help each other to live life well! We think this is the greatest news in the world, and we want to help each other tell fellow students about what Jesus has done.
The Christian Union is made up of students from all denominations and we’re supported by a number of local churches in our desire to proclaim Jesus in our university. We regularly join together to pray, worship, and mature in our faith and witness through teaching and fellowship with each other.
To find out more about what we believe please read our doctrinal basis.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” — Matthew 28:18-20
About Us - What We Believe
The doctrinal basis shown below is a statement of what the Christian Union believes. If you require any further information please .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
—There is one God in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
—God is sovereign in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgement.
—The Bible, as originally given, is the inspired and infallible Word of God. It is the supreme authority in all matters of belief and behaviour.
—Since the fall, the whole of humankind is sinful and guilty, so that everyone is subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
—The Lord Jesus Christ, God’s incarnate Son, is fully God; he was born of a virgin; his humanity is real and sinless; he died on the cross, was raised bodily from death and is now reigning over heaven and earth.
—Sinful human beings are redeemed from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death once and for all time of their representative and substitute, Jesus Christ, the only mediator between them and God.
—Those who believe in Christ are pardoned all their sins and accepted in God’s sight only because of the righteousness of Christ credited to them; this justification is God’s act of undeserved mercy, received solely by trust in him and not by their own efforts.
—The Holy Spirit alone makes the work of Christ effective to individual sinners, enabling them to turn to God from their sin and to trust in Jesus Christ.
—The Holy Spirit lives in all those he has regenerated. He makes them increasingly Christlike in character and behaviour and gives them power for their witness in the world.
—The one holy universal church is the Body of Christ, to which all true believers belong.
—The Lord Jesus Christ will return in person, to judge everyone, to execute God’s just condemnation on those who have not repented and to receive the redeemed to eternal glory.
