The Christian Union isn't a church. It's really important to be part of a local church while at University, so that we can grow in our faith, and serve the church. We all have things to learn from older and wiser Christians and it's important to be fed with good Bible teaching each week and enjoy the fellowship of meeting with other Christians (not just students). Listed below are churches that the Christian Union has close links with, you will be sure to find a warm welcome at these places. Go to a few different churches to find one the suits you, but don't spend to long looking, it's important to settle down into a church and to get involved. UCCF have produced a short article on choosing a church, it can be found here
