Welcome to Maynooth Christian Union

Posted on06. Jun, 2010 by Maynooth Town Portal.

Maynooth Christian Union will be back starting from September, however you might want to know what we do and why it matters.

We are a multi-denominational Christian society that meet on a weekly basis to explore the claims of Christianity together on our campus. We hold a weekly Bible Study for those who are interested in finding out more about Christianity and the Bible, as well as various events to encourage discussion amongst students about issues such as the reality and importance of God’s existence, God’s grace and mercy, suffering, how God can impact our daily lives, the Resurrection and the Virgin Birth.

Asides from this, we also hope that we will impact our campus by building and forming relationships amongst all students. Throughout the year we will be having social events such as pizza nights and film & discussion nights. We hope to be a place welcoming to all, regardless of background or beliefs, scepticism is always welcome. All that is needed is a questioning mind!

As a society we are affiliated with Maynooth Students Union, and we aim to co-operate closely with other societies throughout the coming year. Last Semester we held a debate with the Literary and Debating Society on the motion “This house believes that one cannot be truly moral without God”. We are committed to being an active part of student life on the NUI Maynooth / St. Patrick’s campus.

We are also affiliated with IFES Ireland one member group of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) both more locally in Europe, and throughout the world. Our relationship with IFES Ireland is crucially important and throughout the year we are involved in numerous events that they hold throughout the year including Joint Colleges an inter-CU event where people from the different CU’s in Ireland meet together in Ovoca Manor in Wicklow during the October holidays, and E-CON leadership conference in April.

Throughout the year we also hold joint events with other Christian Unions in the Dublin area.

If you have any other questions make sure to check our About Us page which deals with a number of common questions, or click the Contact Us page to send us an e-mail which we will get back to shortly. We also have a Facebook group.

We hope this has been useful, and we hope to see you with us next September!
