Get involved in the community of Southwestern Christian University!

The community standard at SCU is one that is based on 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 various opportunities for campus involvement below!

 

Co-Curricular Activities

Music Ministry -  Ensemble(s)/Chapel Band Worship Team/ One Voice/Pep and Jazz Bands
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.  SCU has numerous groups that students can join to express their creativty through music. Chapel Band performs during our Chapel services weekly.  One Voice is our traveling student music group that travels around the country to different chuches and camps. Pep and Jazz bands play at our Athletic Events!

Student Government Association
SGA is the executive committee of the student body and has general charge of student activities on the campus. SGA 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 SGA are campus spiritual emphasis, dorm prayer and Bible study groups, and campus social and intramural events. Persons serving in the SGA are provided opportunities to develop leadership skills which they may later utilize as leaders in the church. 

Student Activities Board
The Student Activities Board program at Southwestern Christian University makes it possible for everyone on campus to get out and enjoy Oklahoma City as well as the great outdoors of Oklahoma while taking part in activities that are both enjoyable and sometimes challenging. Our activities are open to all students on campus and are built to be enjoyable, educational, and challenging. Finally, the SAB is made up of a committee of students that are responsible for organizing all SAB trips/activities. Each SAB member serves a 1 year term, which provides opportunities for other students to be involved as much as possible. The SAB is advised by the Director of Student Life.

Intramural Activities
SCU's intramural athletic program challenges students to stay fit physically and familiarize themselves with a wide range of sports and activities.  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, sand volleyball, basketball, bowling, 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.

The SCU athletic program is a member of the Sooner Athletic Conference at the NAIA, Division 1 level and a member of the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA), Division 1 level.
