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 some churches where current students already attend or with whom the Christian Union has close links, you will be sure to find a warm welcome at these places. Do check out different churches for one the suits you, but don't spend to long looking, it's important to settle down into a church and to get involved. If the churches below aren't what you're looking for then why not look at this bigger list compiled by Christ Church Brighton. UCCF have produced a short article on choosing a church, it can be found here. A map showing where all the churches below are located can be seen here. |
