Having arrived at University lost and confused in his faith, Luke fell in to friendship with Christians in the student community at his local church. It was through this group, and time spent studying the Bible, that he became convinced of his faith and captivated with the ideas of grace, a life lived for Jesus and helping others to do the same. 

Helping others to live and speak for Jesus has been his mission ever since, and he has done this from his base working in a church in Southampton, taking on leadership in a number of different areas of church life, with all kinds of people for the past 5 years. Luke married his wife Libbi and they are now on this mission together. 

When Luke is not working with students (and sometimes when he is!), he loves to surf, skateboard, attempt to fix things, talk life and drink Italian coffee. 

 After going home and reading the gospels in a New Testament given to him at school, he became convinced that true life was found in knowing Jesus. 

 Fearghal came to Portsmouth to study psychology, taking advantage of the sunny seafront beach and indie coffee shops, learning what it means to live and speak for Jesus in everyday uni life. 

 Enticed by the offer of free pizza, Fearghal decided to go along and find out about the CU in his first week of university. He got stuck in as soon as he heard the CU’s vision: to give every student on campus an opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through his time as CU president, he experienced the joy of seeing friends and others come to know Jesus for themselves. 

Fearghal works as a Staff Worker with two wonderful south-coast CUs in Portsmouth and Chichester. Both are very different universities, but the CUs together have a big vision to make Jesus known. His desire is to see students confident in the wonder and truth of the gospel, that Jesus really is the best news for their campus.
