The Evangelical Christian Union is an interdenominational and multicultural Christian group on campus. It is affiliated with the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (AFES). Our aim is to urge all people to live with Jesus Christ as Lord. We pray that every student and person in the health system would respond to the gospel.
We teach the Scriptures systematically in large public meetings, and run prayer groups and Bible studies in course groups. We also enjoy gathering at various camps and conferences throughout the year.
Our mission
* evangelise students by proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord
* encourage growth toward maturity in Christ
* train students in the skills and character to serve Jesus and his people
* send graduates throughout Australia and the world to serve Christ
What we believe?
We are convinced of the fundamental truths of Christianity as revealed in the Scriptures, including:
1. The divine inspiration and infallibility of all Holy Scriptures as originally given and their supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct
2. The unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead
3. The sovereignty of God in creation, providence, revelation, redemption and final judgement
4. The universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the fall, rendering man subject to God’s wrath and condemnation
5. The conception of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit and his birth by the virgin Mary
6. Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through (faith in) the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, the incarnate son of God, as our representative and substitute
7. The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead
8. The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit the make the death of Jesus Christ effective to the individual sinner granting him repentance towards God and faith in Christ
9. The justification of the sinner by the grace of God through faith in Christ Jesus alone
10. The sanctification of the believer by the indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit
11. The one holy universal church which is the body of Christ and to which all true believers belong
12. The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ
