Glasgow University Christian Union (GUCU) is a student led mission team which exists for one reason – to share the good news of the gospel to a generation without Jesus and without hope.

Supported by UCCF Staff Workers and working in partnership with the local church, we work as a team to reach out to students.

Any mission team needs time to prepare, train and pray together. This is done through the weekly Wednesday ‘Team Time’ meetings and the CU small groups. These meetings are central to our effectiveness and unity as a group. It enables us to refocus on God, to grow in our understanding of the good news of Jesus, and to apply the Bible to student life Glasgow.

GUCU is committed to the gospel

The gospel, or the good news about God’s interaction with humans (as summarised by our declaration of belief), forms the core conviction of our CU’s life and ministry. This incredible good news is the basis of our unity, the foundation of our ministry, the content of our message and the fuel for our evangelism.

GUCU is student led

GUCU student is led by a committee of nine students who, whilst still having plenty to learn (!), seek to coordinate the CU meetings and events throughout the year. There is plenty of room for everyone to get involved though; Christian Union really is for everyone (see the next point).

GUCU is inter-denominational

GUCU is made up of students ‘sent’ out from the local church. Believers drawn from many diverse church backgrounds, committed to working together in gospel unity whether they are charismatic, conservative, hairy etc.
