IDEAL Southwest Baptist College offers limitless opportunities for each student to fulfill these Christian ideals through the Baptist Student Union and the many unit organizations of the campus. The Baptist Student Union is an organization which heads the religious organisms of the campus and serves as a connecting link between the college and the church. It stresses priority to Christ and the church. It also provides rich opportunities to expedite Christian de- velopment through worship, missions, and social activities. The objectives of the BSU are to relate the individual stu- dent properly to his church,to make an impressive spiritual impact by unifying the church and campus unit organizations, to present a positive Christian witness to the campus and community, and to promote stewardship and missions. There is a variety of religious activities in which all students are invited to participate. Students are encouraged to join in worship in local churches ang chapel services. At the beginning of each year, the BSU encourages all new students to findachurch home by sponsoringJoin the Church Sunday. The chapel services seek to develop the student spiritually and culturally by providing a variety of evan- gelistic and informative programs. During the course of the year, the BSU sponsors many activities such as morning watch, evening vespers, mission programs, religious focus week, and dedicated vocations week to teach daily steward- ship of time, money, and personality and to help the stu- dent relate his faith to his studies and vocational plans. The goal is to provide the student with Christian principles and values by which to guide his life. Each of the organizations seeks to help the student find a new source of spiritual strength. The Young Woman's Auxiliary strives to promote interest in missions through its programs carried out in circle meetings. It is an aux- iliary of the Woman's Missionary Society and functions both in the school and church. The Brotherhood is com- prised of laymen who have regular meetings for the pur- pose of studying missions and church problems. Providing practical experience in Christian service for students who plan to give their lives in special religious service is the aim of the Life Service Band. The members study the dif- ferent opportunities for service in areas of religion other than the preaching ministry. The Ministerial Conference is an organization for all ministerial students. They meet to consider programs for the promotion of their work and to profit by the inspiration of their fellowship. For the wives of the ministers, the organization Sigma Mu Theta offers programs to assist them in their duties. It provides a time for a sharing of experiences and fellowship. Other activities of the BSU are sending out youth revival teams and summer missionaries. The revival teams travel on weekends to churches to represent Southwest Baptist College and to present the gospel. These teams, consisting of five or six members and a sponsor, gain valuable experience in the work of the Lord. The BSU with its encompassing organizations is an opportunity. It is an opportunity for service and growth. Also it is an opportunity for each student to develop into a well--rounded, spiritual, cultural, and social individual dedicated to Christian ideals. ,,,-f'.L- S 472, Cf K we-- I . c A , 4 2 . we I The goal of S.W.B.C. is to foster a sincere search for mature W Christianity and an honest desire for academic excellence, for either alone is incomplete.
