Engaging with Jesus at university
The UWA Christian Union is a group of over 200 students on a mission to help students engage with Jesus at university.
We come from dozens of churches and denominations across Western Australia, but we’re united by our love for Jesus and our desire to see everyone grow in their love for him.
Whether you’ve known Jesus for years or are just starting to check him out, we’d love you to join us.
How can I get involved?
Join a small group
Small group Bible studies are the heart of CU. Every week you’ll get to meet with 8-10 people in your faculty to get to know each other, dig in to the Bible, and pray together. You can sign up now!
Come to Public Meetings
Thought-provoking talks from the Bible.

College Students
Living at a residential college is a unique experience and a unique opportunity to live for Jesus. We have groups running in several of the residential colleges at UWA, so come along and get to know God better, as well as other college students.

Plus Trip is brilliant! Less than 3 weeks to register! 😀
Plus Trip 2017Nov 23, 10:00amWA, Canberra, Sydney, Blue MountainsEach year, students from all the universities in Perth take part in the extravaganza that is Plus Trip. Sign up by Sunday October 8: www.afeswa.info/events/nte/
Plus Trip consists of 3 components - it's all amazing, but if you can only make one or two parts - you're still winning!
1. Mission (23-27 November) (no cost)
We spend 5 days working with a church in Perth or regional WA. We help them out in their mission, and get to have a go at doing real, live ministry ourselves.
2. Travel to Canberra and sightseeing (29 November – 1 December)
Fly to Sydney, and bus to Canberra. We'll hang out together in a big house, and see the sights of Canberra before NTE.
3. AFES National Training Event (NTE) (2-6 Dec) ($315)
This is a 5 day conference for students from Christian Unions all over Australia. There’s great talks, great music, great Bible studies, and great opportunities to grow in our knowledge and love of Jesus. You can check it out at nte.org.au
4. Travel to Sydney and Blue Mountains for fun times and sightseeing (6-11 December)
Bus from Canberra to Sydney, spend a couple of days in Sydney, see the sights, taste the food, bus to the Blue Mountains for bushwalking (optional but amazing views!), cafes, chill time, bus back to Sydney, then plane back to Perth on Monday 11 Dec.
Here's the breakdown of the options:
ALL THE THINGS
Plus Trip costs approximately $680 return (+$325 NTE conference registration with dormitory accommodation).

MISSION ONLY
If you want to do Mission - no cost. Register www.afeswa.info/events/nte/
MISSION + NTE
If you want to do Mission + NTE, but unable to do fun times after, then you'll need to organise your own flights - but you're welcome to fly in to Canberra when everyone else arrives, and share the accommodation (make sure you tell us this!). You won't be able to have a seat on the bus from Sydney to Canberra with everyone else (unless special permission - speak to Tim Thorburn). Register for mission and let us know if you want accommodation for the couple of days before NTE: www.afeswa.info/events/nte/
Register for NTE: afes.org.au/events/nte17-registration
If you have questions, PM afeswa, or speak to your staff worker.
This trip is so worth doing at least once while you're at uni - don't put it off - in case you get hooked but have no more years left at uni!
