Get involved in the community of Southwestern Christian University!

The community standard at SCU is one that is based upon integrity, respect, personal accountability and concern for interpersonal relationships. There is so much to do and there are so many different ways to become involved. Check out the different opportunities for campus involvement below!

Co-Curricular Activities

Kappa Kappa Pi
- Kappa Kappa Pi is an intentional women's small group that promotes freedom through laughter, involvement, genuiness, honesty and relationship building

Brotherhood
- The Brotherhood is a men's small group that is not to be taken lightly. Once you have decided to be a part of he Brotherhood, your next step is choosing your Kin group. In your Kin group, you are encouraged to be yourself with your fellow Brothers. The Kin group meetings last about an hour and strive to be a time of fellowship, fun, encouragement, realness, and getting down to serious business - both good and bad.

Friday Outreach
- Every Friday from 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm a group of SCU students volunteer at the City Rescue Mission in downtown Oklahoma City. During this time, SCU students are able to interact with elementary aged homeless children as they eat, play games, mentor and just have fun.

Identified Services
- An Identified Service is a student led praise and worship experience that takes place once a month in the Minchew Auditorium. Students can use this time to experience the dynamics of campus wide fellowship as they worship the Lord together. Identified Services are organized through Student Senate and the Student Senate Chaplain.

Music Ministry -  Ensemble(s)
- Music has always been an important part of the SCU tradition. Through the ministry of music, the Great Commission of Jesus Christ is fulfilled by sharing the Gospel in song in many of our churches in the Southwest region.

Student Senate
The SCU Student Senate is the executive committee of the student body and has general charge of student activities on the campus. The Student Senate seeks to develop the spiritual, social, intellectual, and athletic aspects of the whole person. In doing so, it promotes spiritual growth, cooperation, and goodwill on the campus.

Included in the responsibilities of Student Senate are campus spiritual emphasis, dorm prayer and Bible study groups, and campus social and intramural events. Persons serving in the SCU Student Senate are provided opportunities to develop leadership skills which they may later utilize as leaders in the church.

Intramural Activities
SCU's intramural athletic program challenges students to stay fit physically and familiarize themselves with a wide range of sports and activities.  A Christ-centered sportsmanship assures that everyone is challenged, strengthened, and gains something from the spirit of competition.  Some of the intramural sports include: flag football, soccer, volleyball, basketball, ping pong, academic challenges, etc.  SCU's faculty and staff often enter teams to participate with the students.  For questions, please contact the Office of Student Development.

Intercollegiate Sports
