Shepherd’s club is one of the various religious organizations on campus. It has been around for about 4 to 5 years. The club’s main goal is to help students study the bible in depth. Along with group bible study club members have one-on-one bible study with one another throughout the week.
Their bible studies consist of reading and analyzing passages from the bible, as well as prayer. They help students find solutions to their situations by applying the basic principles from the bible into their own lives.
“We teach the bible, we don’t try to convince students about anything, that happens through the word of god” said first time President of the club, Sarah Kim.
Kim believes one of the hardest things a student of faith faces in college is being able to keep that faith while being surrounded by colleagues, professors or even concepts that challenge it or simply don’t support religion at all.
Her tips for students who need help in keeping their faith are:
1) Read the bible daily
2) Never forget your own experience with god
3) Stay surrounded by people who also have faith
The club helps students who already have faith in all those things. And they invite anyone who is interested or curious about the bible to join them for bible study as well. It is every Thursday at 1pm in USU-307.
The club also has a major event coming up on Dec. 31st-Jan. 2nd which is their annual 3-day bible conference held in Terris, California. Students that attend the conference have a chance to listen to the testimony of other believers as well as meeting new people of the same faith. That event is also open to anyone who is interested in attending.
