Christian Fellowship Group

Christian Fellowship Group at JYU meets approximately every other Tuesday at 16:15. The meeting place is Paja (Building I), a small brick building near the Seminarium and Ryhtilä buildings - in English, the "Old Forge".

Autumn 2025 meetings: 15.9., 29.9., 6.10., 20.10., 27.10., 10.11., 24.11., 1.12., and 15.12.

The group is ecumenical: participants come from different backgrounds, cultures, denominations, and continents, but meetings focus on shared Christian faith and hope. So far, Lutheran, Catholic, Orthodox, and Pentecostal Christians from Europe, South America, Africa, Australia, and Asia have participated.

Meetings typically consist of simple prayer songs, reading from the Gospel, a brief silent meditation, sharing of thoughts, and the Lord's Prayer in the languages of those present. The group values respectful treatment of every member and visitor, even when views on religion, politics, or personal life choices differ.
