“The doughnuts at CU are great... but I have also enjoyed getting to know other people and being encouraged in my beliefs.”
The Christian Union at Dean Close School is a thriving and vibrant group. Each week 40-50 students from across the year groups attend our main meeting.
CU is led by pupils and exists as a place for the young people to come and explore what it means to be a Christian in our world today, to grow in their understanding of the Bible, and to encourage each other to live their lives for Jesus and share the Gospel with others.
We meet every Wednesday and enjoy a mixture of worship led by students, bizarre games and usually a talk or session led by either a visiting speaker or one of the Chaplaincy team.
As well as the weekly meetings, special events are held throughout the year including: the CU Houseparty, The Sixth Form Houseparty, the CU Christmas dinner and the Lent Addresses, which are greatly enjoyed by all.
“It was great to get away from school and have a different perspective and take a new look at what the Bible says. The fact that a Jacuzzi and sauna were available on the weekend away was also a great addition!” – Lucy- about the 6th form House party
