Revitalised CU sees multiple students come to faith

Students and local church workers are praising God after several students at St Mary’s University, Twickenham unexpectedly came to faith last year - with one student calling it a 'revival'.

In September 2023, there was no Christian witness on the St Mary’s University campus. However, beginning with just two students, a new Christian Union (CU) grew to more than 25 members. They saw eight students profess faith in Christ and now have 93 on their wider WhatsApp group.

The Christian Union was started by Rob MacQueen and Tommy Jack, who met at the end of their first year at an Alpha course running in the university Chaplaincy. Numbers at the Alpha course dwindled, leaving Rob and Tommy chatting with two local church workers each week – which was where the idea for a CU was first suggested.
