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

Our group is part of AFES: the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students. AFES is a national community of students discovering Jesus together. All AFES groups across Australia stand on the same biblical foundations, seeking to proclaim Jesus faithfully on every campus. 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.

That’s okay! We understand the pressures on uni students – exams, assignments, work, and more – but making time to invest in your faith is also important. We run many events each week, on different days and times – some in the day, some in the evening. Hopefully, your timetable works out with ours!

There are also opportunities to connect outside of semesters, at our various conferences. If you can’t make weekly events, we’d still love to meet you at these!

Great question. We know there’s been an increase in cult activity on university campuses. At UQ Evangelical Students, it’s never acceptable to manipulate or coerce people. Everyone is free to visit, and free to leave. We strive for transparency: we openly name our beliefs, affiliations and leaders, and are affiliated with the UQ Student Union. Our doctrinal basis is standard Christian belief, used throughout Australia, and has been adopted or adapted by many other Christian groups.
