And when you’re ready, find your group!
I found out about Campus Bible Study at a BBQ at Orientation Week. It took me a while to start regularly coming along to the Bible studies and Bible talks, but after some encouragement I joined a Bible study with other first year students in my faculty. It really helped me make friends when I didn’t know anyone from Sydney after moving here from Newcastle.

Being regularly involved with Port Macquarie Christian Students (PCS) has been a huuuuuge encouragement to my spiritual walk with Jesus. It has enabled me to make great friends that have been able to support and encourage me through uni and day to day life. It has also let me receive suuuuper solid bible teaching each week that has expanded my knowledge of God and deepened my relationship with him, and given me tools and strategies to talk to friends at uni about Jesus.

Uni is a completely different environment to what most people are used to but being part of the Evangelical Union on campus certainly made the transition easier, as everyone is extremely welcoming and willing to help you out, directing you to classes and more. It has certainly helped me to grow in my faith and challenged me consider the bigger picture of how I might be serving Jesus as Lord in my life.

After Year 12, I went on a camp for highschool leavers where we were strongly encouraged to get involved in uni ministry – if not now, when? I was really convicted of how important connecting with Christians is at uni.
