PENSA
Faith
PENSA stands for PENTECOST STUDENTS & ASSOCIATES
We are a student society on fire for God with a passion to spread the saving knowledge of Christ across the campus. We have a family of over 45 PENSAs across the UK and we are still growing!
Our Vision & Belief
Our vision is to create messengers and raise world changers through 'The Christ Factor'. We believe in God's calling to excel academically and spiritually so that we can pass down the knowledge of Christ to other people.
What we do
Through our Thursday's bible study sessions, we provide members with the opportunity to fellowship and grow together in Christ as His disciples, discovering their role in the body of Christ and helping them channel themselves productively to edify themselves and fellow Christians while glorifying God.
We also have other activities such as Men's & Women's night, Games & Movie nights, Evangelism, Homeless outreach and Worship nights.
You can also email us via: pensa@upsu.net or contact us on Instagram, @pensaportsmouth
We look forward to having you fellowship with us :)
