Freshers

Heading to university is a big step, so first of all, congratulations! Whether you’re buzzing with excitement, feeling a bit nervous, or somewhere in between, we’re really glad you’ve found your way here. And whether you’ve known Jesus for years, you’re asking big questions about faith, or you’re just browsing while researching uni life, we welcome you.

The CU is made up of Christians from different churches, and we gather together to support each other, grow in faith, and share the love of Jesus with our campus. If you're serious about following Jesus, or even just seriously exploring what that might mean, then finding a local church is one of the best things you can do. Uni is a brilliant time to grow in your walk with God, and being part of a church where Jesus is honoured and the Bible is taught faithfully will help you thrive spiritually during your time at uni.
