Rebecca Giddens
Rebecca is the staff worker for the Christian Unions at Winchester and Reading Universities. She studied Primary Education at Winchester University and before working as a staff worker, taught in a Primary School for five years. As a student she was fully involved in the Christian Union, both in Winchester and abroad, travelling to Ukraine during multiple summers to partner with the Christian Union movement there.
The independence of University life gave her a great amount of time, space and freedom to explore new things and she found that the Christian Union played a huge part in allowing her to explore some of life's big questions. It equipped her, as a young adult, in knowing how to build her life on a Biblical foundation and opened her eyes to what it could look like to live as a modern-day disciple of Jesus in the workplace and in a culturally diverse world. Christian Union provided her with opportunities to not only share faith but to grow in an understanding of how to do it and why it is important.
As a staff worker, it excites her to similarly inspire the current student generation. Week to week she enjoys equipping, discipling and encouraging them- passionate about seeing others grow in faith and live for Jesus in their universities and beyond, all for the glory of God!
