Welcome to the Oxford Inter-collegiate Christian Union (OICCU) Website! If you're coming up to join us in October, we're massively looking forward to it and we hope you are too! You should find all you need on this website, but if not, don't hesitate to get in touch with someone; we want you to feel at home with us as soon as you arrive.
We'll be around and about in Freshers' Week, so hopefully you'll bump into us somewhere. This is where you might see us:
- University Freshers' Fair
- Your college Freshers' Fair
- "Club Outreach" - we'll be about outside the clubs each night handing out water and meeting people
- Freshers' Banquet - we'll be hosting a FREE banquet at 7:30pm in St Ebbe's Church on Saturday of 0th Week and whether you would call yourself a Christian or not, we'd love you to join us!
- "All Together" - 2:30pm on Saturday afternoon in Wesley Memorial Church, we're uniting all the Christians in the uni together to see what CU is all about, meet each other and sing praises to God.
- College Events - your college CU will be running some things in your college, so why not visit your college page to see what's going on.
We will be helping people find their way to the different churches on the first Sunday of the year, more info coming soon!
During term, we run four different meetings each week:
- Prayer meeting: We meet at 8am every Monday in New Road Baptist Church to pray for the university and the world.
- Wednesday Meeting: We come together each week at 8pm on Wednesday to study God's Word, pray and encourage each other in our mission. This alternates between being in college with just your college group and being in Wesley Memorial Church with all the colleges together.
- Big Issues: Each week on Friday lunchtime we discuss a different topic that people often raise regarding Christianity over a free lunch. 1-1:45pm in Bar Copa on George Street, Christians and Non-Christians all welcome.
- Café 360°: Café is a place for international students to meet Christian students from here and abroad in a relaxed atmosphere.
If you're an international student arriving early and not sure what to do with yourself we'll be around to help you. We will be running a stall on Cornmarket from 10-12 and 2-4 every day of the week before Freshers' Week offering tours of Oxford and orientation help to make it easier to settle in. We will be running Café 360° each evening as well as having a welcome team at the bus station to guide you to your college.
We hope this helps, please do get in contact, we'd love to hear from you. Feel free to have a look at the rest of our website and why not visit the page for your college CU.
See you soon!
Love from your CU xx
