Campus Information

Southwestern Christian University is located on a beautifully wooded campus in the Bethany area of metropolitan Oklahoma City, one of the major cities of the Southwest. With an area population of about one million, the greater Oklahoma City area provides a large number and variety of churches, job and enrichment opportunities for students.

The campus of SCU adjoins the Research and Development Center of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church, the university's parent body. This allows for interchange with the denominational leadership on academic, professional and social levels.

SCU enjoys a relatively new campus. All of the buildings have been erected since the summer of 1984. The campus facilities include:

L. D. Patrick Building
This 10,000 square foot facility includes the Ollie Bell Cafetorium which serves as the dining hall of the university and as the auditorium for regular chapel services. Included in the cafetorium is a modern commercial kitchen and a seating area for 300.

In addition to the cafetorium, the Patrick Building includes the beautifully furnished Rena Patrick dining room which seats about 30. This dining room is used to entertain special guests of the university. The Patrick Building also includes three classrooms.

Courtyard Of The Nations
The beautiful Courtyard of the Nations is situated in front of the Patrick Building. Here is flown the flag of every nation in which the Pentecostal Holiness Church has a missionary. When the sponsoring denomination adds a new country to its program of world missions, the national flag of that country is also added to the courtyard. The Courtyard of the Nations is an ongoing, vivid symbol to the students at SCU of the world vision SCU seeks to develop in its graduates.

Bell Student Center, Irvin & Light Dormitories 
This facility provides student housing for both men and women. 

Tripp Student Center & Pickens~Springer Gymnasium
This expanded and renovated facility  provides a wide variety of student recreational activities as well as a full size basketball court, volleyball court, and locker rooms.  This facility serves as the hub of    student life.

C. H. Springer Learning Center
This facility serves as the academic hub of the campus. On the ground floor is SCU's modern library, which contains about 30,000 volumes. The library includes volumes in both religion and general education, as well as reference materials, periodicals and a microfiche collection of American church history studies. Because of the specialized nature of the collection in the field of religion, the holdings are comparable to the religion collection in many libraries of 100,000 or more volumes.

All books and materials in the library are catalogued by Library of Congress classification. The library has a collection designated the Pentecostal Research Center. This section of the collection is comprised of books by Pentecostal authors and periodicals published by various Pentecostal publishing houses.

Administrative Offices
The second floor of the C.H. Springer Learning Center serves as the administrative center of the university. The offices of the president, academic affairs, business affairs, and financial aid are on this floor.

The Roberson Building/Graduate Annex/Minchew Auditorium
This complex  houses the graduate school offices, classrooms, conference room, faculty offices, counseling center and diagnostic lab, the Director of  Admissions Information and the campus auditorium.
