A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Shawreth is, without a doubt, the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I do not say that lightly.  God has used the men that make up this organization  to shape me and mature me in ways that I never anticipated.  Truth be told, I do not believe that I would be half the man I am today had it not been for the discipleship that I have experienced from my brothers.  The brotherhood that I have gained from being a grateful member of the Shawreth Order is unlike anything that I have experienced elsewhere, and the lessons that I have learned from my time in this club will last a lifetime.  I consider myself truly blessed to call these men my brothers.
We can call ourselves brothers due to our common mindset and history.  We are a group of men, standing humbly before our almighty Father, who acknowledge that we have no greater strength than each other and our reliance on the Lord.  We agree that Devotion to those around us, Perseverance in seeking knowledge of God, and setting a standard of Excellence for this campus in order to bring honor to God and Shawreth is something worth living and fighting for.  We exist to serve, and any glory or admiration we may receive should be directed elsewhere.  
At times we are obnoxious, but it's out of pure joy of being accepted by the people we care about.  The acceptance and family ties that one receives while in Shawreth is stronger than simple friendship.  While it takes time to make it that way, it is worth every second.  Thank you for reading and for checking out our website.  Please feel free to look around and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.  
In Service to God,
Timothy Gatewood
President

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.  For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow.  But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!  Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone?  And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him – a threefold cord is not quickly broken. 

Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving sided by side for the faith of the gospel, and not frightened in anything by your opponents. Philippians 1:27-28

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 17:17

DEVOTION. PERSEVERANCE. EXCELLENCE.
