Campus & Community
Service Projects
The 2027 Project touches every area of the University. We cannot anticipate that SAGU's next 100 years will be better than the first 100 based on the success of one office or program. SAGU's faculty and staff are leading the charge and challenging their teams to contribute to SAGU's legacy in unique ways specific to the health of their department.
As a student, faculty, staff, alum, or friend of SAGU, your part might be investing time and energy in one of the following campus and community projects over the next five years. With your participation, we anticipate each project's success translating into more public awareness and interest in SAGU, greater affinity and pride amongst alumni, and more profound spiritual growth within students.
100
The President and the SAGU Alumni Office have established the Momentum Prayer Initiative to intercede on behalf of the campus and student body. Over the next five years, Momentum will host 100 prayer groups that will become foundational to the Spiritual Life on-campus at SAGU! Their prayer focus will include Kingdom Impact, Faculty & Staff, Spiritual Health & Wellness, and Divine Protection & Provision. Sign Up.
With nearly 100 years of SAGU history, we believe every alumnus has a story to tell. What’s yours? The SAGU Alumni Association will collect your unique stories and experiences into a historical archive, uniting SAGU alumni across generations, professions, and life experiences. In the end, we will produce a commemorative compilation of our time at SAGU. By sharing your memory, you’ll ensure that SAGU’s rich history is preserved for the next 100 years.
Churches trained with Convoy of Hope
Through a collaboration between Convoy of Hope and SAGU, "Love Thy Neighbor" is a one-day gathering of leaders designed to help churches successfully engage their communities through compassion. Through workshops, teaching sessions, and roundtable discussions, church leaders will take actionable steps in engaging their communities through compassion ministries that result in empowered and transformed lives.

SAGU has produced a vast number of excellent preachers over the last 100 years. The College of Bible and Church Ministries plans to review and select 100 sermons that represent the various decades of the school’s existence. These sermons will be archived for ready retrieval by those who wish to be enriched and encouraged by men and women who have been trained at SAGU.
Students on missions trips every year
Mission-mindedness is a SAGU core value. Each year, we will inspire 100 students to participate in missions trips by pointing them to opportunities provided by the Southwestern Missions Association (SMA) or local churches.
Stories of lives impacted by prayer
We will foster spiritual formation among students by compiling and sharing the stories of individuals whose lives have been affected by the prayer movement of SMA.
We will encourage 100 students to make a faith promise toward SMA missions projects and look for God to provide miraculously.
Hours of community service every year
We want SAGU students to be known as tangible difference makers and witnesses of God’s love in our community. We will encourage and celebrate each student who completes 100 volunteer hours in SMA outreach projects reaching the homeless, refugees, at-risk children, the elderly, and those with special needs.
Student-athlete alumni spotlights
Where are they now? Student-athletes come to SAGU to make a difference on the field and prepare themselves as future leaders in their communities. Over the next five years, we will highlight 100 student-athlete alumni from around the globe and share how they lead in business, education, ministry, and much more.
Remarkable moments in SAGU sports
SAGU athletics has developed amazing athletes over the years. Throughout The 2027 Project, we will look back at 100 of their most outstanding individual and team performances.
We think our SAGU student-athletes are exceptional, and so do many others. Together let's count up and celebrate the first 100 student-athletes to receive national recognition as All-American and Academic All-American athletes.
Champions of Character service projects
The NAIA Champions of Character Initiative fosters spiritual formation, missions-mindedness, and servant leadership on and off the field. For The 2027 Project, the athletics department will implement 100 outreach and service opportunities for student-athletes each year.
