The Christian Society


About The Christian Society


The Christian Society is a collective of organisations, churches and denominations of Christianity.

Whether you have a definitive path you wish to follow, or if you're wanting to find the right part of the Christian faith for you, The Christian Society is your starting point - and if you don't see yourself represented, you're more than welcome to start a new branch of the society!

Any student is able to join the community, grow in their faith, make lifelong friends and find support as you navigate university life. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or have been walking with Jesus for years, there's a place for you here.

When you join, you'll be asked to select the branch of the society you wish to buy membership to - you can find out more about them by clicking the information tabs and then click the membership tab to join.


Faith and Spirituality at Birmingham City University

If you're looking for more general information about Faith and Spirituality at BCU, you can do this on the team's dedicated iCity pages.

Although our Christian Society is a great place to meet like-minded people, you don't need to be a part of it to practice your faith. BCU welcomes students and staff of all faiths and none. On these pages you will find news, information on special events and university and local faith spaces.

You can also find details of the Chaplains at BCU if you require them.


About the branches


Our Christian Society is split into a number of different, student-led branches.

You can find out more about each of them, and get involved, by clicking below. Each branch is student-led so if you have any questions you should reach out to the respective President, listed on the right of this page.


Christian Union

We are a non-denominational group and everyone from BCU is welcome to come along and join. You don't have to be a Christian or a member of the CU to come along to our meetings, everyone is welcome.

We want to give every student at BCU the chance to hear and respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

First Love

Welcome to First Love!

We are dedicated to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community at BCU, where personal, intellectual, and spiritual growth can flourish. We aim to foster an environment that celebrates diversity and inclusivity, welcoming everyone regardless of their faith or belief system.

Our mission is to reflect God’s love by extending kindness and support to others, while offering a strong network of emotional and spiritual care for students from all backgrounds. In addition to sharing the Gospel, we have a passion for the creative arts and organise events throughout the academic year to showcase this.


Kharis On Campus

1 Timothy 4:12 - Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 

Kharis on Campus translates as 'Grace on campus' it is a zealous and passionate Historical Christian society opened to all faiths and background.  

We aim to teach about the gospel in an unconventional and dynamic way, we aim to embed the Word of God into the history of key people (revivalists) like William Tyndale an English scholar who risked his life to translate the bible from English to Latin. We will be like a Christian history seminary centre we will be discussing the works of revivalist and saints of old revisiting their works and how some were successful in spreading the gospel and how some failed.  

We have a passion for young people, and we emphasise on teaching young people how to use their time and energy to benefit others and the community.  

We study and take example from revivalists that were in university so that our meetings can be relevant to young people.  

We meet once a week to discuss the works of a chosen revivalist and relating it to the bible and how it can be applied in this day and age.  

Our meetings will have free refreshments and one to one support called 'I am my brother’s keeper' which encourages members to fellowship with others, to check up on each other and pray & support one another.  

Kharis on Campus will be a place where Christians and non-Christians can fellowship and learn about Christianity in a different way by learning about the great works of other revivalist/saints and what they were able to accomplish, we believe it will be encouraging and empowering to study the great works that these revivalists have accomplished, it will be truly motivating for their Christian walk.  


PENSA

PENSA is a Christian society which seeks to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to university students as well as helping them grow spiritually in the midst of like-minded people.


PSCI Campus Fellowship

PSCI Campus Fellowship exists to equip students to grow in Christ, live out their faith and reach others with the Gospel.

Through practical discipleship, biblical teaching, prayer, evangelism, soul-winning events and sharing personal testimonies, we aim to equip students to confidently live and share their faith.

We also seek to build a supportive cross-course community where students can form genuine friendships, support one another academically by sharing knowledge and experiences, and grow together in Christ Jesus.

Navigators

Our aim is to help students enjoy Jesus and grow stronger in their faith via one to one support and bible studies through discipleship and mentorship.

The Navigators is an international organisation with student groups at universities across the UK and the world, giving members the opportunity to network and have fellowship with others in the UK and beyond.
