An introduction to Graduate Christian Union at UBC

This short introduction reveals the exciting work of Graduate Christian Union at University of British Columbia in Canada. GCU is a great place to meet like minds that are curious about faith and integration, asking the tough questions. People from around the world are in dialogue with us. We also seek to build spiritual community and friendship among graduate students. Personal curiosity and wholeness is our goal as we dig deep. GCU believes that we can work towards a better world.

Dr. Gordon E. Carkner, the Director of Graduate & Faculty Campus Ministries, along with his wife Ute love connecting with future global leaders within the graduate student university community. Through hospitality, biblical investigation, prayer and discussions of faith and academic studies, these students are drawn into kingdom concerns and introduced to God's powerful agape love.
