Founded in 2020, the Interfaith Club is designed to provide people on Greenville’s campus with educational opportunities to learn about different faiths.
Interfaith Club strives to create a safe space for students outside of the academic realm to learn about diverse worldviews, think critically about complex issues, develop skills for interfaith dialogue, and clarify their own faith identity. We believe that experiences like these enrich the Greenville University community by promoting a mature and thoughtful faith that can engage the world with respect and love.
Interfaith is a sanctioned club, approved by Student Senate, that meets each week for food, fellowship, and dialogue. It is open to all students, staff, faculty, and alumni. These meetings are a source of educational content as well as an opportunity to connect with and learn from local religious leaders. The Interfaith Club also hosts a weekly small group for students to discuss a variety of topics related to theology, spirituality, and worldview. The Interfaith Club has hosted a wide variety of programming, with our most popular event honoring the Jewish holiday of Purim in collaboration with Vespers and the Jewish Christian Studies Program.
Interfaith Club offers several experiential leadership opportunities through the positions of Chaplin, Education Coordinator, and Marketing Coordinator. This team hosts our weekly meetings and organizes all programming. Members can apply for any of these positions when they become vacant. Leadership positions are hired by the previous leadership team and the club advisor.
Interfaith Club works closely with the Shapiro Jewish Christian Studies Program (SJCS) as the program does similar work on GU's campus. The Shapiro Jewish Christian Studies Program "...seeks to promote respectful Christian engagement with the Jewish community by teaching students about Judaism and Christianity’s interconnected past, present, and future and preparing them to relate empathetically and productively in a globalized world, combatting hate and Christian anti-Semitism."
The student-run Improv team of Greenville University has been getting their groove on and bringing laughter to the campus since late September 2008. In the monthly shows that the team performs each year, they hope to honor God through fun nights of improvisational comedy. A lot of their jokes may be centered around the Greenville's cat infestation, President Ivan Filby, or the DC's menu, but their arsenal of comedy is unlimited and relevant.
The social work club serves as a club for all students to come together to assess some of the needs within our community on campus. It helps bring awareness to how students can best serve and support one another. It is led by social work majors but is open to any students who want to be involved. Throughout this club, students are able to learn more about the social work field.
The Greenville University Ultimate Frisbee League (GUFL) has been making touchdowns since the Fall of 2019. The GUFL plays 3 to 4 games every Sunday at 2pm in rain, shine, and even in snow! There is a fall season and a spring season, both of which conclude with their own playoffs and GUFL champion.
The fun, friendly, semi-competitive club is not associated with GU’s Intramural sports, so there is no sign-up to join. There is also no commitment to attend every game day. Players can come for one weekend and never come back, or only come to the first game and return for playoffs, or show up to all of the games. Additionally, skill level is completely irrelevant. Whether a player is a pro or beginner— Anyone is welcome to participate or watch at any time!
President Wyatt Boyer and Vice President/Faculty Advisor CJ Falls III will happily accept you into the GUFL with a free t-shirt! Be sure to follow us on Instagram (@the_gufl) and join us on our Facebook group!
