Discover Union’s home
Ministry Centre
Ministry Centre Facilities
Based in a nineteenth-century manor house set in beautiful grounds near the heritage coastline of South Wales, Union’s Ministry Centre is more than a college campus - we see it as our ministry’s home. It provides a base for intensive study weeks and a home for the wider Union family, as well as offering retreat packages for churches and Christian organisations.
Accommodation
We have a range of single, double, multiple-occupancy and family accommodation units available. Make an accommodation booking request here.
The Courtyard Café & Bookshop
The Courtyard Café & Bookshop is open to the public and sells light lunches, hot & cold beverages and cakes. The Bookshop stocks our Union Publishing books alongside a selection of new and second-hand Christian books, including various Biblical commentaries.
Students and groups are welcome to make use of the café throughout their stay. There are also self-catering facilities available in the residential areas.
Library
The Library is accessible to students, those in ministry, and Christians wishing to extend their theological understanding. It houses a large range of books, journals, digital resources, archives, and our Welsh language collection. To register as an external borrower, please email librarian@ust.ac.uk.
To discuss making book donations to the Library or bookshop, please email librarian@ust.ac.uk in advance.
