Ourimbah Christian Students

Visit our tent (outside the library all week) and find out about Jesus!

We are all excited that uni is soon back for another year!

Ourimbah Christian Students is keen to encourage and equip Christian students on Ourimbah Campus in their daily ministry and grow them in maturity, through the proclamation of the word of God, so as to reach our fellow students with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Come along to our first Digging Deeper session on 12noon-1pm, Wednesday 7 March, in room CN2101. Bring your lunch, connect with other Christians and hear about what OCS is up to in 2012.

Hope to see you there!

Ourimbah Christian Students (OCS) is a student-led group on the Ourimbah Campus of the University of Newcastle.

The members of Ourimbah Christian Students have recently committed themselves to a new vision and mission for our group. This has helped to clarify our ministry, goals and values.

The Vision of Ourimbah Christian Students is: “To see students on Ourimbah Campus glorify God by trusting in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.”

The Mission of Ourimbah Christian Students is: “We encourage and equip Christian students on Ourimbah Campus in their daily ministry and grow them in maturity through the proclamation of the word of God, so as to reach our fellow students with the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

The Student Executive for 2012 is Lachlan Campbell, Stacey Owers, Helen Beach, Adriana Giles and Kurtis McCabe. The Executive appoints a chaplain to assist them – the role of the chaplain is that of Ephesians 4:12 – “to equip the saints for the work of ministry”. The chaplain for 2012 is Adam Gregory.

Ourimbah Christian Students has adopted the doctrinal basis of AFES as described here.

We are also in partnership with Newcastle Christian Students.

Ourimbah Christian Students (OCS) is devoted to glorifying Jesus Christ on the Ourimbah Campus of the University of Newcastle.

We want to give every student on campus the opportunity to find out more about Jesus – who he was, what he did, and most importantly, an understanding of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Our prayer is that many will be brought to put their trust in Jesus, and in doing so, enter into a relationship with the True and Living God. We run a course designed to introduce people to the person and work of Jesus Christ – our next course will start in the next few weeks, so watch this space!

We also seek to connect with other Christians on campus. We do this so that we can train and equip them to serve Jesus with their lives. We run bible study groups, and training courses (for example, training people in Two Ways To Live) throughout the semester.
