UCCF to help fund Quinta's 'largest' building project

Each year in early September, UCCF hosts its annual conference for student leaders, Forum. The conference has run in essence for over a hundred years, bringing Christian Union leaders together to enjoy fellowship, be encouraged in their faith, share ideas and be equipped to share the gospel at their universities.

Hosting a thousand student leaders at Forum requires a major outlay each year. The Quinta Christian Centre has partnered with UCCF for many years to host the conference with the main arena situated on the site near Weston Rhyn, Shropshire. The main arena gives every student there the opportunity to worship and hear from God’s Word as one body of Christians each year – I know I found it an emotional and memorable experience when I first stepped into the marquee as a student for the evening meeting.

Hiring and erecting a large marquee comes at an increasing cost each year, so, after several years of planning, we’re delighted to announce that planning permission was granted earlier this year for a new purpose-built 30m x 15m "barn" to be constructed on the site, for use by both UCCF and other guests to the Quinta site at other points in the year.
