New to Christianity?

If you’re new to Christianity or just checking things out, you’re very welcome to join us. You don’t need to have it all figured out, and there’s no pressure to pretend you do.
Many students arrive at uni with questions about life, purpose, and faith. Christianity answers those questions by focussing on the good news of Jesus. At RMIT Christian Union, your questions are taken seriously, and you’re invited to explore them together.

Common questions

Yes! RMIT CU is affiliated with the Student Union as an official group.

You’re very welcome to come – regardless of your experience of church (or if you have no experience of church!). RMIT CU is a place to make friends and discover more about Jesus.

AFES groups aren’t trying to replace church. They bring Christian community and the Bible into the place where students spend much of their time — uni. We want to help you think through what following Jesus looks like in lectures, friendships, and everyday student life.

Our group is part of AFES, the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students, a national community of students discovering Jesus together. All AFES groups across Australia stand in the same grace of God, the same gospel of Christ. Being part of this wider community means we’re connected to other campus groups, supported by experienced staff, and able to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

We understand the pressures on uni students – exams, assignments, work, and more. It can be hard. We don’t want to overload your schedule, but we really do want you to make the most of your time at uni by exploring faith together with us. We run several events a week, on different days and times – some in the day, some in the evening. Just start off small. Perhaps there is just one event that you can make it to?
There are also opportunities to connect outside of semesters, including our midyear camp in July, and NTE (our National Training Event) in December. 🙂

Totally valid question. There’s an increased awareness of questionable sects operating on university campuses. At RMIT CU, we’re never okay with manipulating or coercing people. We strive for transparency: we openly name our beliefs, affiliations and leaders, and are associated with the RMIT Student Union.
