WELCOME TO ALL FRESHERS!

If you've found this page - great! Whatever you think when you hear the words 'Christian Union', we want you to know that you are welcome and we are keen to meet you. If you've just applied to Downing or Emmanuel, great choice! All the best in the rest of the application process.

Feel free to get in touch, whether you have questions about university life, college and the Christian Union or just want to say Hi. We'd love to chat about what you can expect, both from CU and from college life.

After results day, you'll be able to sign up for the Freshers' Getaway! Meet great people, encounter Jesus, and get ready to love university - all before you move in. The video back from 2015 is also here to give you a taste of what the Getaway is like!

Otherwise, we'll see you at the Emma or Downing Freshers Fair! It's in your schedule for Freshers Week. Come along and meet us, and follow our Instagram or Facebook page so that you know what is going on throughout term.

Shoutout to International students!

We're so excited that you're coming to Cambridge. They'll likely be members of CU in college by the time you move in, so get in touch and let us know if you would like a friendly face to meet in your first days.

You might like to visit iConnect, an evangelistic coffee bar run by university students. Running every week, international and language students are welcome to grab a drink and have a chat.

Which church should I go to?

~ Holy Trinity ~ St. Andrew the Great ~ Eden Baptist Church ~ Cambridge Presbyterian Church ~ KingsGate

Cambridge is blessed to have loads of top notch churches - listed here are just a selection. Choosing a church can be daunting, but being settled within a church family can be incredibly helpful in your university life.

On the first few Sundays of term, we'll be organising breakfasts where students will tell you a little bit about the different churches in Cambridge - and if there's a church you're interested in visiting, there'll be an older student going there too!
