Sutton Bonington Christian Union is a Christian society but is open to Christians and non-believers from varying backgrounds, denominations and beliefs. Although many of our events centre in some way on Biblical truth and Christian faith they are open to all and we hope that the variety of events we put on provide opportunities for any student to grow in their understanding of Christianity alongside other Christians and sceptics.
We run numerous events and groups every week and encourage our members to become part of a local Church whilst uniting over the simple vision of the CU. We hope and pray you consider joining or visiting us whatever your beliefs/doubts/questions may be.
CU exists to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ in the student world.
