Our Mission & Vision
At the heart of every campus, you’ll find Christian Unions, student-led teams supported by staff and local churches, all working together to reach students with the hope of Jesus! This is a mission shaped by real people, real stories, and a shared desire to see lives changed by Jesus.
Our mission?
Students reaching students for Christ.
And our vision?
To give every student in Ireland the chance to respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Every student has a unique chance to share the hope of Jesus with friends right where they are. Over coffee, in the library, or walking across campus.
But you can be part of this story too! Your prayers, support, and time make all the difference! Would you consider walking alongside us? Whether you pray, give, or volunteer, you help open doors for the next generation to discover the hope we have in Christ!
Our Values
Our values are an integral part of our ministry and help shape how we approach our mission to give every student in Ireland an opportunity to respond to the good news of Jesus!
1. FUELLED BY THE
GOSPEL OF GRACE
We see our mission and all we do as an overflow of joy–filled hearts won by the love of Christ, constantly thrilled with the cross, and compelled to want to make him known.
2. CONFIDENT IN THE SUFFICIENCY OF SCRIPTURE
All we do is shaped by a dynamic engagement with God’s Word, submitting to its authority in all of life, and with deep conviction that this is where Christ is most clearly and desirably seen by Christians and non–Christians.
3. JOYFULLY
DEPENDENT ON GOD
We choose to enjoy that our loving Father is in control, that apart from Christ we can do nothing and that only his Spirit can produce fruit. We are not ashamed to be completely dependent in prayer, recognising that all glory in anything we do is all his.
4. STRIVING FOR UNITY
IN CHRIST
We draw Christians from all backgrounds to unite on campus for the sake of urgent mission, being only constrained by the gospel’s demands but showing the generosity on which the gospel insists
5. GENEROUSLY SERVING
THE CHURCH
We are committed to local churches as the place of lifelong mission and discipleship, seeking to nurture and mobilise future leaders for the Church in Ireland and around the world.
6. PASSIONATELY ENGAGED
IN GOD’S WORLD
We endeavour to glorify God in everything we do as his image–bearers by living holistically in his world, engaging wisely with culture, serving generously on campus, thinking biblically about studies, and developing a Christian mind.
7. INVESTING IN DYNAMIC STUDENT LEADERSHIP
We equip students to live and speak for Jesus, seeking the good of the campus communities to which they belong, and investing creatively and with transparent integrity in student societies.
