Who We Are

Who We Are
We are a fellowship which stands for Jesus.

Evangelical Students (ES) is a community of Christian students who seek to GROW in God’s Word and be TRAINed together to REACH the campus and the world for Christ.

We invite you to join us in this mission on campus, and to grow in confidence as you share your faith.
Evangelical Students (formerly known as Evangelical Union) is an affiliate member of the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (AFES) which has around 60 affiliate groups on 50 university campuses across Australia. The AFES was a founding member of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) which now has a presence in over 150 countries.

We are blessed to have both students and staff serving us at Evangelical Students. Our Student Executive serves us by helping to organise the club within the University, make decisions and organise events. Our staff help us by serving in discipleship, training, decision making and bible teaching. Together, they serve to help ES to GROW and TRAIN students in their faith, so that they can REACH the campus and the world for Christ. If you’d like know more, feel free to contact any member of the staff or executive team: We’d be more than happy to chat!

Grow

In practice, it is our prayer that students in ES would increasingly grow…

to know God better through disciplined Bible reading
to be dependent upon God in faithful prayer
in our love for Christ, and reflect His love for others
a mature and assured faith, exhibiting fruit of the Spirit
in gospel unity as the body of Christ on campus
to seek the kingdom of God above all

We grow in our love and knowledge of God together as we study God’s Word, in small groups, Bible Talks and on camps.

Train

being trained to

personally understand and interpret the Bible
live faithful and prayerful lives, persevering to the end
share the gospel, and lead others to know Christ
joyfully and sacrificially serve others in the cause of Christ

We want to train disciples of Christ in the skills and character to serve him wherever we are – at uni, and for the rest of our lives.

Reach

in order to reach others by

boldly and creatively proclaiming Jesus as Lord, in the context of public events and personal relationships
supporting other gospel ministries here and abroad
raising up future gospel workers from within our fellowship

We invite you to join us in this mission on campus, and to grow in confidence as you share your faith.
