Student Ministry Association

Southwestern's Student Ministry Association (SMA) was created to support and connect students who are pursuing or exploring a call to ministry!

The Student Ministry Association exists to equip and empower students to grow in Christ, serve the campus community, and develop as leaders in ministry.

SMA hosts events, networking opportunities, and discussions that help prepare students for effective ministry leadership. We believe God is raising up the next generation of pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders -- and this association exists to help them grow, learn, and step into that calling together.
