Christian Union (CU) Martus is a Christian club at Penn dedicated to increasing Christian leadership capacity. We hold to three core values: encouraging fervent, wholehearted seeking of the Lord; keeping students steeped in Scripture; and developing Christian leaders to transform culture. We hold multiple weekly events, including prayer meetings, guest speakers, Bible Courses, and game nights. We would love for you to join us in growing in the Lord during your college years – whether you come from a faith background or are exploring your options!

Christian Union Martus

A community of Christian students dedicated to growing in faith at Penn

"Christian Union has been a critical part of my college experience and faith journey. From day one I have encountered true friendship and fantastic leadership. A favorite memory of mine is going to Waffle House late at night in Maryland to enjoy a feast with my fellow brothers in Christ. If you want a great community, Christ-centered support through your college journey, and lasting memories, consider joining CU." - Luke Baber Wharton '25

"Christian Union has been a faithful community centered on Christ! I was immediately welcomed as a freshman, and in CU I have grown in my walk with Christ, made life-long friends, and played very competitive rounds of spoons. From going to church together to 4am Wawa trips, CU has been the most formative part of my Penn experience!" - Carson Fisher CAS '26

“Coming into college, I was nervous about leaving my Christian fellowship at home, but joining CU has gifted me with an amazing community of peers to lean on, learn from, and grow with in faith. I have met some of my best friends through CU—my favorite memory from CU has to be Brogram reveal nights, where I got a big and little bro that have become such close friends and mentors for me. The last three years in CU have been a blessing, and my genuine and supportive peers in CU are a reassuring constant through all the ups and downs of college!” - Megha Thomas CAS '24

"Discovering CU has been a true blessing as they embraced me with open arms, making my college experience feel more like home. My walk with Christ has grown stronger and I've made lasting friendships with amazing people. One cherished memory is from the Winter Retreat, where we played soccer until 2 in the morning, sharing laughter and a deep sense of belonging. CU offers unwavering support throughout your college journey and will strengthen your relationship with Christ, even through difficult times." - Emily Monfort CAS '26
