Welcome to the movement!
SCM is a youth-led network of student collectives engaged in spirituality and progressive social justice issues, rooted in our ecumenical and interfaith mission, our Living Prayer.
We welcome people of all beliefs and backgrounds, including the full spectrum of the church, interfaith, questioners and seekers. Founded in 1921 and rooted in the social gospel movement, we are students active in liberating theology, progressive spiritual activists inspired by the Christian tradition to fight oppression and struggle for a better world.
“For almost 90 years, the Student Christian Movement has been a force for social justice … (it) remains a moral force on Canadian campuses.”
(United Church Observer, September 2009)
As one of more than 100 affiliated movements in the World Student Christian Federation, we’re part of the global ecumenical (Christian unity) movement. We warmly welcome members of many beliefs and backgrounds, including people who are not Christians or registered students – we take action together for social justice, dialogue, youth leadership and community in diversity. All are welcome, including LGBTQ.
