Small Groups

What is it?
ECU small groups are a great opportunity for you to read and investigate the Bible to about God in an open, relaxing atmosphere. Groups are made according to year and course, so you can meet other classmates who are keen to investigate Christianity also.

A typical small group usually involves encouraging each other by praying, reading a passage or two from the Bible, and working in the group to figure out what the passage is saying to us today.

When and where?
Small groups run for an hour, every week of the semester right around the campus.

Register!

Mid-Year Conference (MYC)

Mid Year Conference, or MYC, is an annual Bible teaching conference held in the mid semester July break. We spend a whole week together soaking in the word of God via the Bible, examining the Scriptures on a the key themes of the Christian faith. In 2017 we'll be thinking about the resurrection. We know far much more about Jesus' death than his resurrection - getting his resurrection will blow your mind!

MYC is the camp every ECU member looks forward to, as it is a great, fun time to meet and hang out with new friends - and of course, study the Bible together!

When and where?
9-13th July 2018
Location - Blue Mountains

National Training Event

What is it?
National Training Event (NTE) is a conference held by the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students for equipping and teaching students to engage and mature in their faith and knowledge of the Bible. NTE runs in two parts - a five day conference in Canberra, followed by a four day mission, serving at a local church around Sydney.

The topic for the conference in 2017 is ‘The Gospel shaped life - momentous news for all of life’. NTE is awesome as you meet students from all around Australia, but of course, spending time with other ECU members!

For the mission part of NTE. ECU will be partnering with several churches around Sydney. Typically, mission involves helping in all sorts of ways with the church, such as walk up evangelism, running kids and youth group programs, and even helping run their Sunday church services. It's a great way to apply your skills learnt during the conference with other students!
