Small Groups: for Bible study, prayer, and evangelism¶
The engine room of Christian Union is our evening small groups. ‘The Castle’ and ‘The Palace’ are student flats where most of the CU Bible studies are located. We have dinner together, hang out, and then split into smaller groups to study a book of the Bible. Several small groups meet at each location.
