Sharpen
If you're here, it's probably because you are a commuter student or CHA resident at Seattle Pacific University. Welcome to Sharpen!
Living off-campus can be tough. At Sharpen, we know what it's like, and how easy it is to feel disconnected from the community on-campus. That's why we're here.
Sharpen is a student ministry at SPU that seeks to provide opportunities for spiritual growth by hosting events that connect you, commuters and CHA residents, with other students like yourselves. The two themes that Sharpen focuses on are 'intentional living' and 'hospitality'. Essentially this means that we want to model what it looks like to live in Christian community, and to host events that bring you together with people you might otherwise never meet.
Our name is inspired by Proverbs 27:17, "as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." We believe that it's important to live intentionally and provide Christian hospitality in order to be one of those people that 'sharpens' the people around us. We don't only want to sharpen others and be sharpened ourselves, but we also want to encourage you to 'sharpen' the people in your life outside of the SPU community.
