If you don't want to meet some great people, SAU isn't the right place for you.

The greatest issue that I see are the few people who we aren't reaching. I have started to notice the few quiet people out there, who aren't exactly on the same page as everybody else. I myself am naturally introverted and its a constant struggle for me. What I?m saying is that I understand how these people feel. I wish they could have more friends and that people would go out of their way to include them in things. I feel inferior because I can see this and yet I too am afraid to talk to them.

It builds community among its members, encourages good moral behavior, and builds a lifestlye around Jesus Christ.
