Get involved
We hope you have caught something of the CU’s vision and are now wondering how you can become part of the mission team on campus. Below we’ve listed 12 different ways you can contribute to making Jesus known on campus. Please don’t let perceived or actual lack of skills or knowledge put you off – we are much more concerned about character than about gifting. Try something new or find out more by getting in touch with the people listed in the boxes.

| Being able to come to God in prayer is a great privilege and something the Bible teaches is essential in mission. Why not make it a priority to pray with other Christians for the work of the CU on campus? Prayer & Praise is on Wednesday 5.00-6.00pm at the Chaplaincy, and Early Morning Prayer is on Fridays 8.00-9.00am in the Oasis Lounge. | Do you play an instrument or sing? If so you could join a band to play at Central (Thu) or lead songs at Prayer & Praise (Wed). | The guys and girls on the refreshments team serve the CU by serving tea, coffee, squash and biscuits after Central on Thursday evening. Degree in culinary arts not required! |

The CU website is a valuable communication tool and is often a first point of contact for people interested in the CU. If you know anything about web design/coding, we’d love to get you involved, if you don’t know anything at all, you can be taught. Please do get in contact and get involved with keeping it up-to-date. |
