What’s the Heart Behind It?
CU Events Weeks are rooted in the Bible’s message that Jesus came for everyone, regardless of background or belief. The goal isn’t to pressure anyone, it’s to create space for honest questions, meaningful dialogue, and real friendship. As Paul writes in Romans 10:14, “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?”
Why Do They Matter?
Many students first hear about Jesus clearly and personally during Events Week. Some explore faith for the first time, some start reading the Bible with a friend, and others decide to follow Christ. It’s a week where the Christian Union seeks to reflect God’s welcome to all.
