MUN BUS

We know that it can be so easy to miss out on attending church because of the inconveniences that arise as a student. In 2016 we realized that many of our students were seeking rides to and from MUN campus each Sunday, so we have been providing a bus to help students attend the 11 AM service ever since. 

This is a free transportation service for students/families/individuals who live near or on Memorial Campus.
