I first came to Manchester a non-believer from a non-religious upbringing and background. I explored my faith in my first year and became a Christian; Union Hall being one of my first church experiences. I came to a service and was also welcomed into coffee and chat. By first impression I was intrigued by the genuine love and welcome of Union Hall.
One of the things I love about Union Hall is the community: a family built up of different backgrounds, cultures, and ages all brought together in Christ. As a new believer I appreciated especially the guidance from elders which has been important in helping build a foundation for my life in Christ. The student community has been a blessing, making brothers and sisters supporting each other through university life and having fun through fellowship, helping and encouraging each other point to God through navigating uni life.
Union Hall has truly become a home to me in Manchester, it is a church that is deeply loving and welcoming to everyone, centred on prayer and the Bible, providing a clear and trustworthy foundation for understanding God, growing in faith, and learning how to live as a Christian. The community and family carry on outside of church in fellowship, friendships and meaningful relationships formed, a community that truly cares and cherishes each other through sharing God’s love.

I came to Manchester as a PhD student at the University of Manchester. Before I arrived, my late dad always told me, “Wherever you go, find a church where you can grow and serve.” So, I began searching for a church near my accommodation and the university. Most importantly, I was looking for a church with a clear statement of faith. That’s when I found Union Hall Evangelical Church (UHEC), and I decided to visit.
From the very first Sunday, I felt at home. Since then, I have never felt the need to look for another church. It has now been almost three years of attending UHEC, and I have tried to be actively involved, including serving in the PA team, even though I often travel for my research or to explore new places.

The best thing about Union Hall is that the gospel is at its heart: Jesus is at the centre of everything that is taught. I’ve also really appreciated how the whole Bible is preached – even the tricky bits – and there is a great conviction to preach the whole counsel of God. I’ve been both encouraged and challenged by the sermons.
It’s the highlight of my week to come each Sunday morning and evening and spend time with God’s people, praying, singing and listening to God’s Word. Union Hall is a great place to hear the gospel and grow in your love for Jesus. I would really recommend it to any student looking for a solid church home.
