Thank you to: Christian Union
Student led group | Faith & Religion
Some proud students told us...
"The Chrisitian Union has been such an engaging society that focuses on the community of the members and the fellowship between them. It's helped strengthen my faith and provided good advice for how I can maintain a healthy university life, as well as hold some of the closest friends I've ever had. The committee have been working hard to provide many opportunities every week for members to come together to talk about faith in various ways that have allowed people to feel comfortable in their space. They have not displayed conflicts or disputes between them or anyone else, and they have always handled awkward situations professionally".
"I'm proud of the support network Christian Union has created. Coming to the end of my uni experience, I feel that Christian Union has helped my mental health, my confidence and given me a community that I feel accepted in. One of the events that sticks out for me is Water Handout outside the LRV, handing out water and snacks to students late into the night and early morning. Lots of people expressed their thankfulness that we were out there and able to give water to people who needed it, it really made me feel like we were helping the student community. After graduation, Christian Union will continue to be a part of my life as I've chosen to work with UCCF in the upcoming year. I'm so grateful for the amazing friends, support and opportunities I've had through this group."
"The Christian Union, is a brilliant community supporting each other through the week. They have multiple meetings, to help us grow in faith and the opportunities to be involved in mission on campus are frequent. Being a member of Christian Union has been a big part of my friendship experience at university. I don't think I would have coped as well without them."
"The group offers a safe and engaging space to explore deep topics, and gives people positive relationships and friendships. Being in the group has impacted me positively in my ability to socialise, lead, and be active in a community; and my student experience has been enhanced through it due to how active it's gotten me to be."
"The Christian Union is a great place for students to find a friendly and supportive community I have found some of my closest friends here some of which I am living with in my second year and will continue to live with in my third. It gives the opportunity for people to share their thoughts opinions struggles and joys each week. We all strive to help each other and students outside the Christian union to feel loved, safe and blessed on campus"
"The Christian Union is a really good place to meet fellow Christians which makes it a great place to make friends and have a safe space to discuss and learn about the faith. They also put on lots of events throughout the year which are always open to everyone which makes it a really inviting group where everyone feels welcome. It has really helped me to make lots of friends and connect with people which has overall made me feel more welcome at university and helped me settle into student life."
Thank you Christian Union for making a positive difference for students here at Staffs.
