Welcome to the new year! 😎
The orientation weeks and first week of lectures is the most significant period in the whole year when most students are on campus and are more open to hearing about Credo and Jesus. They are looking for friends, new things, and something to belong to and believe in.
This brings us a really important opportunity to “Gather the lost to Christ, Grow in maturity in Christ, and Give ourselves in service of Christ.” through something we call Pre-season.
Come join us during Credo Pre-season to enjoy fellowship together, be trained to serve in God’s harvest field at UTS and beyond, and to welcome new students on campus in 2026!
Which events should I take part in?
We ask everyone in Credo to get involved for at least two days of Pre-season (senior leaders will likely be doing more!) and for 2 hours of “Launch” (which is the last day of Pre-season on the Tuesday of Week 1 of uni – February 17)
