Campus Ministry Blacktown Facebook group
ACU Life – Connect here with Blacktown Campus Ministry
Contact Campus Ministry to arrange a time for a friendly chat, a listening, sympathetic ear and maybe some shared prayer. You won’t regret our advice and walking alongside you.
Pop-up spaces are a welcoming and fun way to engage with Campus Ministry in random spots all over campus. Where will you find us next?
Experience different ways of praying with people of like heart at Weekly Prayer sessions. No experience necessary.
Come along and meet the chaplain on our brand-new campus and find out what’s at the heart of ACU’s mission.
Join a Connect Group to get to know new people (as well as yourself). Talk about big questions, and God. Everyone’s a beginner when it comes to adult life, so don’t be afraid.
Encounter a different kind of volunteer program that provides targeted opportunities for you to identify your passion and gifts, grow in your faith and be of valuable service to your local campus.
Study might seem a solitary activity, but Study Oasis offers snacks and refreshments, encouragement and strategies to keep you motivated during Study Week and into the Exams.
Everyone can make time for a Sunset Session that will offer connection, perspective and precious ‘time out’ in good company.

Take a break from the busy activity of your day and engage in ten minutes of stilling both your mind and body.
Contact Campus Ministry to arrange a time for a friendly chat, a listening, sympathetic ear and maybe some shared prayer.
Get away from it all and claim some personal space to allow God to speak to your heart. Our team provides subsidised staff retreat opportunities to recharge and bask in the silence of beautiful, natural environments.
Expert knitters and stitchers and those without any experience at all are welcome to join us online for community craftwork.
All are welcome to participate in a conversation that delves into a pre-read article or chapter on a theological issue. You’re sure to be challenged and have your vision expanded.
We're available 9am–5pm AEDT,
Monday to Friday
