Who... We are a group of about 15-20 students from all year groups, who all share one common faith in God. We may not always agree entirely with each other, yet we do try to get along! Our meetings are headed up by Mr. Cowan, the notorious trigger of the fire alarm.

What...

Every morning we meet to worship and pray in the humble surrounding of the Chemistry labs. Our lunchtime meetings cover all aspects of our faith, ranging from Monday's Bible Study led by Mr Cowan, to Friday's praise meeting in Chapel led by the musically talented (?) amongst us. On Wednesday, Mr Singer's Scripture Union meetings attract a wide variety of interesting speakers.

We go out regularly at weekends as a group, and Mr Cowan took six of us to 'Spring Harvest' - the biggest Christian festival in Europe - last Easter at Butlin's in Minehead. Despite what some might think, Christian Union is not at all boring, but really exciting and intellectually stimulating.

Why...

If Jesus didn't exist, or the claims about him in the Bible are unfounded, then we in the Christian Union have no ultimate hope, and are spending our time seeking after a relationship with God which is unattainable. However, we meet together because we believe and know that Jesus Christ - God's son - came to earth 2000 years ago, lived a perfect life, died upon a cruel Roman cross as a sacrifice for our sins, but rose triumphantly from the grave. Because Jesus is alive today, we seek to invite others who want to come into a personal understanding and experience of God as their Father.
