The purpose of this organization is to provide Pepperdine University students with educational, religious, cultural, service or volunteer opportunities, as well as providing social interaction with other Catholic university students. This organization will foster participation in Church activities, offer spiritual growth opportunities and provide a connection to the local Catholic Church, Our Lady of Malibu.

KCM exists to serve three purposes:

KCM exists to be the evangelistic arm of the local church on campus. We believe God has called us to obey His Great Commission in making disciples at Pepperdine University. Our deep desire is that God will use KCM to lead lost collegians to Christ and have these collegians to become committed members of a local church.
KCM exists to raise leaders for the local church. Leaders are made when they are taught leadership principles and given opportunities to practice leadership. At most churches, collegians, although taught leadership, might not be given opportunities. Our deep desire at KCM is that God would use KCM to not only teach leadership principles to our student leaders but also give them an opportunity to practice these principles so that they grow in becoming the leaders that God wants them to be.
Lastly, KCM exists to mobilize our Christian Community to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. The Bible says that Jesus will return when his gospel is preached to all the nations. KCM's deep desire is to expose our students to God's great missionary work and raise them up to be costly goers and senders in the name of Christ.

Veritas Club is dedicated to delving into the deepest questions of God, faith, and human existence. We seek to encourage students to earnestly pursue truth, and we seek to create a welcoming space for this pursuit of truth to occur.

We meet on a weekly basis, welcoming faculty and students both, in order to engage with the big questions of life, such as, "How can evil and a loving God both exist?" "Are science and faith in opposition?" "Are all world religions true?"

Veritas Club is for everyone, not just those who believe in Christ! We welcome individuals of all belief systems, that we can engage in respectful and loving dialogue, seeking truth together.

Veritas Club also plans various events on Pepperdine's campus, including the annual Veritas Forum.

"Word Up" is a term that stems from the colloquial meaning of acknowledgement, approval or indication of enthusiasm, coupled with John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." When the two are married, the idea is that, within that space of worship, God (the Word) is going to be acknowledged with enthusiasm.

Word Up is a gospel-centered, inclusive worship community that highly emphasizes and values the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Word Up is designed to encourage community between all students, regardless of religious background, affiliation, or perspective in order to promote a more loving, understanding, and unified campus.
