Description
The Christian Union at LJMU is a welcoming student-led community where people from all backgrounds can come together to explore Christianity, strengthen their faith, and build lasting friendships. Whether you're a committed Christian, curious about who Jesus is, or just looking for a supportive group to grow with, there's a place for you here.
About Us
LJMU Christian Union (CU) exists to give every student on campus the chance to hear and respond to the good news of Jesus Christ. We are a diverse group of students united by a passion for exploring the Bible, sharing our faith, and building an inclusive, welcoming space for all—regardless of belief or background.
Each week, we come together to learn more about God’s word, encourage one another, and engage with some of life’s most meaningful questions. From Bible studies and worship nights to campus outreach and community socials, our aim is to live out the Christian faith boldly, lovingly, and openly.
Whether you’re a lifelong Christian or just beginning to explore what faith might look like for you, CU is a place where you can ask questions, share your journey, and find community along the way.
Key Information
Our Christian Union meets weekly—usually every Tuesday evening at 7:30 PM in the Student Life Building. These gatherings give us the opportunity to pray, learn, worship, and grow together in faith.
Throughout the academic year, we also run a wide variety of events and socials, both faith-based and just-for-fun. These may include guest speakers, themed nights, outreach events, worship sessions, small group meetups, and more.
All updates, last-minute changes, and extra event details will be shared through our social media platforms, so keep an eye out there to stay connected with what’s happening week to week.
Why Us?
University life can be busy, overwhelming, and full of transitions—and Christian Union is a place where you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether you’re looking for a faith community, trying to make friends beyond your course or flat, or wanting to deepen your understanding of who Jesus is, we’re here for you.
Christian Union is also a great space to grow in confidence and be equipped to share your faith with others. Through workshops, discussions, and our regular events, we aim to help you feel more prepared and encouraged to live your faith out loud—on campus, at home, and beyond.
And of course, it’s not all serious! We love to laugh, have fun, and build genuine friendships. You’ll find a place where you can be yourself, be supported, and be part of something meaningful.
