University – The Opportunities

The majority of the world’s population are green with envy that you get to go to university. This is your time to embrace some great opportunities, lay some strong foundations and discover what it looks like to have God walk with you through it all. The decisions you make will shape not only your time at university but will lay foundations for your calling, character and lifestyle once you graduate. 

The student world continues to change rapidly and there are so many opportunities that you can give your time to. High tuition fees mean many students work part time alongside their studies , there are also many clubs and societies students can join. Add to this the huge options for entertainment, relaxation and the impact of technology, how you choose to spend your time as a Christian student is of huge importance. How you live is a witness and a light to your fellow students.

What passions do you already have that you’d like to continue to pursue at university?

If there was an opportunity to try something new at university, what would you do?

For a Christian, being fully integrated in to the church family is a lifelong commitment. The university years are not a season for time out, rather an opportunity to move from being a youth to an adult in the church family. It is not about just hanging out with people your own age but embracing the generations and playing your part in the church family. The local church is the place of teaching and discipleship and it is also the launch pad for mission and maturity.
