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 variety of churches, job opportunities and enrichment activities for students.

The campus of SCU adjoins the Global Ministry 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 an auditorium for special activities. Included in the cafetorium is a modern commercial kitchen and a seating area for 250.

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.

Bell Student Center, Irvin & Light Halls 
These facilities provide student housing and recreational space 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 a hub of student life.

The C. H. Springer Building houses the University Library on the lower level, serving as the academic resource center for  the campus and providing information resources in multiple formats to assist students, faculty, and guests.  The SCU Library contains about 30,000 items, a computer lab, and special collections.  All materials in the library are catalogued by Library of Congress classification. The library has a collection designated the Pentecostal Research Center (PRC). This section of the collection is comprised of books and resources about the modern Pentecostal and Charismatic movements.
