A Statement from LCCU
Liverpool City Christian Union is a unique student society. It is the only student society in Liverpool to unite students from the University of Liverpool, John Moores University, Hope University and LIPA. We also aim to unite Christians from many different denominations around the core truths of the Bible and the historic Christian faith.
Liverpool City Christian Union exists to enable us to share what we believe with others and to provide opportunities for anyone who wishes to find out more about the Christian faith.
Fundamentally the Christian Union exists for the sake of those who are not in our society. We welcome and encourage people of all faiths and backgrounds to attend any of our meetings. We are an open society and anyone is able to come and find out first hand about our society's aims, beliefs and values. We believe that our society is one of the most accessible societies in all the universities as well as being one of the biggest and most active. Christian Union members contribute actively to university life in the academic realm, sports, arts and many other societies and clubs.
Liverpool City Christian Union also runs many events specifically to answer people's questions about the Christian faith. These include "Christianity Explored" courses that explain the basics of Christian belief from the original Christian documents and encourage participants to ask any questions that they wish. We also run "Lunchbar" events on campus which are open to all students and address many topical issues from a Christian perspective. Again, all of these events include time for students to comment and ask questions.
Liverpool City Christian Union is running a week of events called "TRUTH" from 26th February to 3rd March. This will be a particular week of activities open to all students offering opportunities to find out what Christians have believed for the last 2,000 years.
Liverpool City Christian Union is entirely student organised and led. As a group of students we have voluntarily decided to be affiliated to UCCF (www.uccf.org.uk) and to identify ourselves with student-run Christian Union groups that exist on almost every university campus in the world.
