“The safety of being in a Christian environment allows you to ask the hard questions. At secular schools, students may have to spend their time defending their beliefs rather than exploring them.”
- Brad Strawn, VP Spiritual Development
The Office of Spiritual Development is a resource for all of the spiritual development activities on campus. Spiritual development is integrated into all of what we do at Southern Nazarene University, woven into the fabric of our institution. The Office provides opportunities for students to express their faith through:
- Worship
- Discipleship
- Service
From twice weekly chapel to student-led worship services, worship is one of the most visible expressions of spiritual development on our campus. Discipleship activities come in the form of faculty and staff mentoring opportunities, student-led small groups, and other programs like the Faith & Film Forum. Additionally, service and missions are a vital part of the student experience through the Student Service Program, ministry groups, and mission trips to the United States and across the world.
