What to Expect: Our Monday night meetings at Queen’s CU are the biggest meetings in the week life of our CU. We also meet for small groups and prayer meetings throughout the week. More information about this is available on our website.
We meet to teach and train Christians on campus to go out and live as missionaries and to gather together, united under God’s Truth to hear the Gospel preached to all who come. We are passionate about seeing souls won for Christ. We are passionate about living our lives in God’s presence and living our lives for God’s glory. We recognise that every Christian student on campus has been placed there as part of God’s bigger plan. We hope to be used by God to equip students to reach their unbelieving classmates and to point others to Jesus Christ and the wonderful truth of the Gospel. The Gospel is the wonderful story of how Jesus Christ died for sinners and that by believing in Him and His death alone we might have a right relationship with God.
Everyone is welcome to Queen’s CU. We love to see new faces. We warmly welcome everyone to CU.

“Trinity CU has meant a lot to me during my college life. Being in the CU has showed me the importance of community within the Christian walk of life. More importantly, the CU has allowed me to grow immensely in my relationship with God. I have learned that Jesus is first above all. If I could summarise what the CU has meant to me in three words: faith, hope and love.”
