In Depth:  UCCF

Imagine you arrived at university to discover that you are the only Christian on campus: what would you do?

This is the reality for student Emily who studies at the Northern School of Art in Hartlepool, an institution of around 500 students.

Students have been taking part in an immersive theatre project which has helped them understand the Bible in new ways, it was reported in February.

As part of the Uncover Mark project, UCCF teamed up with the Mark Drama to give students another way to experience the story that Mark tells about Jesus in the Bible.

Durham Christian Union won an award for ‘Best Society Event’ at the National Society Awards on 19 May.

Hosted by the National Union of Students and Red Oak Roller, the evening celebrated university societies around the United Kingdom and what they contribute to their members, their campuses and to the wider community.

Falmouth CU, when reaching out to students on their arts campus in April, trialled a new event – life drawing, but with a twist.

Instead of drawing models, each student (fully clothed!) took a turn in the middle and talked about their background, their faith, and what difference God has made to them. Equipped with sketchpaper and various drawing materials, they listened and began to draw said student and their life.
