It has been said that the Christian Union (CU) is the only university club or society that exists primarily for non-members. CUs are mission teams with a clear and focused agenda — to live for Jesus and speak for Jesus on campus. Their main priority is to see students come to a living faith in Jesus Christ.

Although CUs are led by students, Christian Union Staff Workers (CUSWs) have a vital role in keeping our university CUs healthy, vibrant, outward-looking and mission-focused.

Their jobs are varied and diverse but some of the core elements include provision of training and support for CU leaders, meeting with students ‘one-to-one’ to study the Bible and in a mentoring capacity, standing with students in evangelism and encouraging them to become active members of a local church.
