Faculty Groups

            For just one lunchtime a week (or month) unite with other Christians from diverse churches, to focus on God and serve our faculties? What if our university saw Christians overcoming differences, even in important things, because they share the calling to glorify God for who He is, and for sending Jesus to bring those who believe in Him back into a relationship with Him? Sharing the news of Jesus is SO important!

Faculty Groups are a weekly lunchtime group with a vision to reach each corner of our University with the Gospel through unity in it, sharing the calling and promises central to it, and through practical displays of it.

GET INVOLVED! CONTACT YOUR FG LEADER OR GET LINKED WITH YOUR FACULTIES LATEST NEWS AND HAPPENINGS THROUGH OUR FACEBOOK GROUP.

Books

Reading Christian books is a great way to get to know God better and grow in your relationship with Him. The CU has a fantastic, very reasonably priced bookstall and this term we are recommending John Piper's 'God Is The Gospel' which'll cost you a mere £3! If you have any have any books that you'd like to recommend then contact Rachel via the website

One To Ones

Having a One-2-One with an older Christian is a wonderful opportunity to study the Bible and be challenged, encouraged and accountable in our Christian lives. Church is an ideal place to find a One-2-One, and student workers at your church should be able to help with this. Email Rachel via website) if you would like to be put in touch with someone at your church, or if you have not yet settled at one but would like to do a One-2-One with an older Christian.

Drivers

Are you lucky enough to have a car at University? If so we need you...Without our lovely car drivers we'd be unable to have any music/sound equipment at CU! Being a driver is a great way to serve, even being on the rota just twice a term would help enormously. If you're interested in helping out contact Fi via website.

Special Events

Genesis And Geology

"Genesis and Geology - taking science seriously" - on 2nd Feb, run by Christians in Science.  Prof Hugh Rollinson, a geologist at the University of Derby will be speaking.  It will be in the Clive Granger Building at 7.30pm.
Hugh is Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Derby and also a practising Christian. His academic work has centred on the early history of the Earth and, in part, on the emergence of life on Earth. Hugh has both a commitment to science and the scientific process and a high view of the Christian scriptures. In this talk he will highlight the strong evidence for evolution, from his perspective as an Earth Scientist, whilst maintaining a rigorous commitment to the text of the early chapters of Genesis. He will argue that there does not need to be a conflict between the two and that current Creationist/ Intelligent Design thinking marginalises fundamental Christian truths in the Genesis text.

Regular Events

Lunchbar

  • Fri 29th Jan - 1:00pm (Portland Atrium)

Lunchbar is a fantastic opportunity for all of us to hear a great talk about some of the questions circulating about religion that often perplex us the most. This week the topic is 'Don't All Religions Lead To God?' Plus you get a free lunch so make sure you bring all your friends!

Equip

  • Fri 29th Jan - 7:30pm (B1 Maths & Physics)

Equip is the one time in the week when we can all come together as a CU, throw our problems out the window and just come before God in a time of prayer, worship and bible study! It's not to be missed! Just to emphasise this week's Equip is especially important since this is where you can hear all about committee elections, a bit more about CU finances and just ask any questions about the CU. The talk this week will be on John 10.
