At the CCU, we want people to attend our meetings and participate in our activites regardless of whether they are a formal member or not. We understand that such a committment may be too much for some to responsibly handle and so are happy to accommodate.
A formal member is simply someone who aligns with our aims, values and vision as a club and has agreed to partner with us as we seek to carry out our aims on campus.
The aims and doctrinal basis of the Christian Union are below...
The aims of the Curtin Christian Union are

Judgement.

(j) The one, holy, universal Church which is the body of Christ and to which all
