Ministries
We gather together to walk and grow with one another during our Friday Night programs, as well as our many ministries. Check out this calendar for our weekly events!
THE PRIMARY GATHERING OF CCF
The Friday Night Fellowship
The Friday Night programs are the heart of the UWCCF and the primary way that we gather as a campus ministry. When people refer to CCF, the Friday Night fellowship is what most people are usually referring to. We gather on Fridays to worship God, read and study the scriptures together, pray for one another, and spur each other on in our faith as a large group. We meet on Fridays at 7:00pm in RCH 101/201.
If you have any questions, reach out to Charles Zhang or Rocky Choo.
FRIDAY NIGHT GROUPS
Small Groups (SG)
Small Groups are where we do many of the activities during the Friday Night programs. We start every program together as a large group and then split into small groups for certain activities. Everyone who comes to CCF is put into a small group for the entirety of the term. Inside our SGs we study the word of God together, hold each other accountable, and grow in community with each other. SGs remain consistent over the course of each term dependent on attendance.
If you have any questions, reach out to Anton Qi, Daniel Lam, Christina Yang, and Emanuela Lai.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND DISCIPLESHIP
Discipleship Groups (DG)
Discipleship Groups are groups of 4-6 people of the same gender that meet outside of the regular CCF Friday programs for times of accountability and discipleship. This is the space for sharing about the most challenging things in our lives and for a group of brothers or sisters to walk with you consistently throughout the term.
If you have any questions, reach out to Anton Qi, Daniel Lam, Christina Yang, and Emanuela Lai.

FIRST YEAR CELL GROUP
Frosh Cell
Frosh Cell is specifically for first year students entering into the University of Waterloo. It is a ministry where frosh can meet others in their year, be integrated into CCF, but most importantly, be challenged together to take their faith seriously. Frosh Cell runs almost as a mini-fellowship within the CCF with bible studies and programs held once a week. Our hope is that those who attend Frosh Cell would also find CCF as their fellowship home. Please note that Frosh Cell runs only during Fall and Winter Terms.

CALLING TO GOD TOGETHER
Prayer Meetings
At UWCCF we believe in the power in prayer and in God’s calling for us to be a people of prayer. As a leadership, we are regularly in prayer for all the events and people of CCF. With that being said, come join us for our prayer meetings on Thursdays and Sundays.
If you have any questions, reach out to
Anton Qi, Daniel Lam, Christina Yang, and Emanuela Lai.
PROCLAIM IT TO THE NATIONS
Campus Evangelism
We believe that we are called to be people that proclaim the Gospel to all peoples including people whom we might not know. There are tens of thousands of people whom we pass by on our campus that need Jesus. We encourage everyone to join in the Kingdom work in sharing the gospel to those on our campus.
If you have any questions, reach out to Makis Lam or Daniel Ching.
PRAISING THE LORD THROUGH SONG
Musical Worship Ministry
The people of God have always been a singing people. As such, this ministry, alongside AV, seeks to lead the members of the fellowship in corporate songs of praise, whether that be during the Friday night programs, at retreats, or bi-weekly praise and prayer nights.
If you have any questions, reach out to Erya Xu or Jacob Zhuang.
HOSPITALITY AND GENEROSITY
Care Ministry
The Ministry serves the fellowship through four main initiatives: greeting students before the Friday CCF program, creating Care Packages, coordinating speed-friending, and hosting Care Dinners. Our hope is to provide students with an outlet to serve, while encouraging everyone to receive small acts of love as we care for all fellowship members, from newcomers to regular attendees. As God’s people, we are called to be faithful stewards of His grace and cheerful givers, using whatever gifts we have received to serve one another.
If you have any questions, reach out to Miranda Davison, Zonghua Zuo, Jason Wang, Clara Hong, Hana Choi, or Chantal Lee.
