Waikato University Christian Club is an affiliated student club at the University of Waikato. It is made up of genuine believers in Christ from various backgrounds. We hold the common faith and love the Lord Jesus Christ, and we endeavour to give Him “the first place in all things” (Col. 1:18). We have found that meeting together in oneness with other believers to enjoy Christ is the way to cooperate with God for the accomplishment of His eternal purpose as revealed in the Bible (Eph. 3:11). For this reason, we warmly welcome all believers in Christ and we seek to maintain the oneness of the Spirit by keeping our focus on Christ Himself. As a popular hymn states, “He is so rich! He is so full!” He is everything to us and we enjoy Him!

JAMCLUB is a University Club that was started for the idea of students wanting to play and jam
music with others while outside of Music Degree or Papers. (Music students are still welcome!!).
The amount of talent lost due to being unable to pursue music as a career seems substantial.
Like myself, I still want to gig and play music as a hobby but have been unable to pick up music
papers. But music is not something that I can live without.
We want our JAMCLUB to represent a space and a time where we can rest from the struggles
of school life, even if for an hour or less at a time, through the power of music and
collaboration.
To be able to play or just listen to music in the moment, with others who share a common
interest.
This club will focus on being able to jam over anything;
– Want a break from study? Come Jam with us!
– Feel like you want to sing and play? Come Jam with us!
– Do you feel like you just want to listen to some tunes? Come Jam with us!
So even if it’s for just a minute. Sit with us, hear the music, be the moments, and rest.
There’s a long way yet to go, don’t be afraid to take some time to live again.

Throughout the year, we’ll be running trips and events — from social gatherings in Hamilton and Tauranga to shredding Mt Ruapehu (Turoa, Whakapapa, or Tukino), Snowplanet, or maybe even the South Island. We’ll see what 2025 brings us (EXCITING!!!). Join our club to take part in these awesome activities, receive a $20 discount on trips, hang out with like-minded individuals, and help strengthen our snow sports community! We welcome everyone from all campuses to join our club.

Waikato University Christian Club is an affiliated student club at the University of Waikato. It is made up of genuine believers in Christ from various backgrounds. We hold the common faith and love the Lord Jesus Christ, and we endeavour to give Him “the first place in all things” (Col. 1:18). We have found that meeting together in oneness with other believers to enjoy Christ is the way to cooperate with God for the accomplishment of His eternal purpose as revealed in the Bible (Eph. 3:11). For this reason, we warmly welcome all believers in Christ and we seek to maintain the oneness of the Spirit by keeping our focus on Christ Himself. As a popular hymn states, “He is so rich! He is so full!” He is everything to us and we enjoy Him!

Student Life
An awesome Christian community united in a common goal to reach the University of Waikato for Jesus Christ. We do this by sharing our faith and showing God’s Love in practical ways. We have weekly meet-ups which include time for fellowship, meeting other like-minded students on campus and also training on how to share our faith with friends, family and fellow students on campus. We have prayer times, where we gather and pray for the campus, our friends, family and each other. We also have socials where anyone is welcome, so bring a friend and come hangout with us!

Tertiary Students Christian Fellowship
We are a group of Christian students who meet weekly for Bible studies and fellowship, where we serve to help reach students for Christ by enabling students to reach maturity in Christ, so that they understand and proclaim the truth about Christ and serve God by showing His love in the student world. We disciple students, encouraging them to think about how the gospel applies to the whole of life and helping them to lay solid foundations for life. Our aims are to think deeply about the questions of life, live a purposeful life that practices what we preach, be aware and prayerful about the issues that the world faces today outside of our individual countries, show the love of Christ to our fellow students and learn to use our gifts and talents to serve God.
