About us

We Are led
BY students

Our group is shaped and led by students, which means uni life and student voices are at the heart of everything we do. At the same time, we’re supported by staff who guide us in reading the Bible, growing in faith, and sharing Jesus on campus. Together, we’re building a community of students leading our mission through partnership with long-term, campus-based AFES staff.

WE LOVE

JCU

Christian Students is dedicated to serving and loving JCU in practical and unique ways. So we host events and activities for both students who identify as Christian, and those curious about faith. We think the best way to love our campus is to invite everyone to know Jesus, who brings freedom and meaning to our lives.

How we
got started

Our group at JCU started in 1970. From the beginning of the uni there have been Christians keen to meet and to share Jesus with others. The group has looked different over the years, with BBQ’s at the old footy shed to pancakes and hot chocolate outside the library.

We are part
of a bigger
fellowship

Our group is part of AFES, 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. 

What we believe

IT ALONE

What if uni isn’t just about your degree, but discovering something bigger? You don’t have to figure it out alone. Come join our group, meet other students who are asking the same big questions, explore Jesus together, and find friendships and support that make the journey easier. We’d love to see you get connected and be part of what’s happening.
