About Us
Hello and welcome from Warwick Christian Union!
We’re a group of students at the University of Warwick who believe the good news of Jesus and are passionate about sharing it with everyone on our campus. Our vision is simply:
“To give every student at Warwick the opportunity to hear and respond to the good news of Jesus Christ.”
Everyone is welcome. We gather from different cultures and church denominations, uniting in worship around the core truths of Christianity.
At Warwick CU there are activities and events to encourage and equip us to live Christlike lives whilst at university and to facilitate sharing the good news with Warwick campus. Read on to find out more!

We are not a church!
It’s vital to get involved in a local church whilst you’re at uni.
Regular Activities
The CU runs a range of regular activities, all focused on fulfilling our vision. The activities include praying for our mission, events to encourage and equip us and times where we reach out to campus showing the love of Jesus or giving a chance to explore Christianity.
We really encourage everyone to come to CU Central (our Main Meetings) and our Prayer Meetings but please check out all we do below.
Info
Our main weekly meeting is a place where anyone is encouraged to come along – whether a Christian or not.
It is a time where we sing together, read God’s word and listen to a talk from a local church leader.
It’s the best place for you to be updated with upcoming events, and afterwards we will often head to the Phantom Coach (a friendly pub) for fun, food and fellowship.
The location of Main Meeting is posted to our WhatsApp group and Instagram
Impact Groups
Various times/locations througout
the week
Info
Impact Groups are at the heart of CU life, helping and equipping students to live and speak for Jesus. They are all about being impacted by God’s Word, then seeking to impact the university for good in Jesus’ name. Whether you’re yet a follower or not, they’re a wonderful place to make friends, get connected into CU life and receive help in finding a local church.
Our Impact Groups are a great way to get to know more people from CU. We would love to have you join us!

The plugin we used to put a timeline here ended up breaking the whole website… please bear with us as we find something else to put here!
Our Leadership
The Christian Union is run entirely by students and we can only do what we do because members give up their time, both helping out at events and activities, and stepping into positions of responsibility. The Committee are our core leadership and featured below, but there are many more people running our regular activities, leading teams, and planning our events.
The Committee
We are your 2026/27 Committee and we each have different responsibilities to oversee week to week running of the CU, plan ahead to upcoming events, and as a whole facilitate and keep us on track with our vision of sharing the good news. We are just ordinary students studying at Warwick and would love to get to know you! Please speak to us about any questions or concerns you might have, so we can bring them up at our meetings
