Religious Student Organizations


While Schreiner University is proudly related to the Presbyterian Church and its theological mission, we also welcome other ministries to our campus. In this spirit, the Campus Ministries Office and Department of Student Activities work in coordination to support religious student organizations. These groups may focus their efforts to provide support and education about their specific faith as well as meet the spiritual needs of students through meetings, programs and events such as community service.

All religious student organizations are responsible for adhering to all Registered Student Organization policies and following these guidelines:

  • All religious organizations must register with the Campus Ministries Office and Department of Student Activities. This is a MUST!

  • Only those religious organizations approved through Campus Ministry may apply to the Director. of Student Activities to present programs or conduct other activities on campus. Door to door recruitment is never permitted or solicitation is not permitted.  Religious student organizations may only issue mailings in campus mailboxes announcing programs or events as well as hang posters in approved areas. ** All posters must be approved by the Director of Student Organizations before hanging.

  • Religious groups must attend and participate in the regular Campus Ministries Council meetings. This will ensure better communication, exchange of ideas and a more effective witness on the campus. Faculty and staff advisors, as well as student representatives, are required to attend these meetings or inform the campus ministries office prior to the meeting as to why they will be unable to attend. At these meetings, the student representative or advisor will:

  • Report on times and places for regular meetings or studies

  • Provide a list of participants

  • Bring helpful publicity tools such as pictures, brochures, articles and plans to the council meetings

  • Take part in planning for weekly chapel services

  • Explore ways the groups may take part in joint worship or other activities

  • Return telephone calls or e-mails as promptly as possible. Sometimes changes need to be made or conflicts need to be addressed.

    Please feel free to contact the Director of Student Activities or the Campus Ministries Office for more information or with any questions.
