About DICCU

Making Jesus Christ known to students in Durham

This is the simple aim of the DICCU. We're made up of Christians from across the university, united in our love for the Lord Jesus Christ and his gospel. We share a common desire to reach out to our fellow students with the best news in the world - God's free offer of forgiveness in Jesus!

Live for Jesus; speak for Jesus!

"...a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life..." (Philippians 2:15-16)

This is what we long to do. As Christians, we are called by God to "shine like stars", living for Jesus by serving him and his people, reflecting his character in all that we do (from archery to zoology).

We also have the awesome privilege of "hold[ing] out the word of life"! Jesus has given us an amazing message to share with everyone around us - the forgiveness that he offers everyone, with the power to rescue people from death to life!

Living for Jesus and speaking for Jesus can not be separated. An integral part of living for him is our universal calling to speak for him, and we can't possible speak for him with integrity unless we are also living for him.
