Student Stories

“I am so thankful that God sent Stan and Karen to serve at Southwestern Christian Fellowship. They have opened their home, walked with us through the highs and lows, and most importantly encouraged us to grow in our walks with Christ”

“It has been such a wonderful experience participating and growing in my faith with SCF for the past two years. The testimonies of doctors and students at Monday lunch meetings have not only been a source of weekly encouragement, but also a space for me to consider how I can incorporate faith into my future medical career. One of my favorite parts of SCF is getting to go on the annual El Paso mission trip. There’s so much joy, learning, fellowship, and fun that goes on from practicing physical exam skills and seeing patients to midnight board games and early morning hikes. I think it goes without saying that medical school can be incredibly stressful and even isolating at times, but SCF has provided me with a safe space to decompress, whether through sharing burdens with peers or asking upperclassmen for advice. I have felt incredibly blessed by all the love shown to me by Stan and Karen and touched by how kind doctors have been in hosting events and opening up their homes to us.”
