At Christian Unions Ireland (CUI), we’re all about empowering and equipping student-led Christian Unions across universities in Ireland. These CUs are missional teams on campus, made up of students from different local churches united by one purpose: to share the good news of Jesus. We believe in students reaching students for Christ.

Students have an incredible opportunity to live out their faith among their peers. As they study and do life together, they have countless chances to live and speak for Jesus. With your support and partnership, we can equip and encourage CU students to boldly make a lasting impact on campus for God’s glory!

  • The Christian Union played a huge role in my faith journey. It’s what first led me to believe in God, helped me understand the Bible, and showed me the power of prayer.

    - Alessandra, former UCD CU student

  • It’s great to have CU as that supportive community when you’re trying to live for Jesus in your context. University is not an easy place to be a Christian but it’s also a place with real opportunities to grow and a real opportunity to witness.

    — Ruth, TCD CU Student

  • I wasn’t even a Christian then! What drew me into the CU was the community of people who showed unconditional love and made me feel like I truly belonged, even as a foreigner in a new country.

    — Janet, former TUS Limerick CU student
