The Master’s University Associated Student Body is a ministry of Student Life and strives to promote the interests and welfare of the students and to make provision for the decent and orderly administration of student affairs. We serve as a vital link between the students and the administration and are closely involved in almost all campus events.
We are comprised of an seven-member Executive Council and a group of senior dorm representatives and dorm representatives that are assigned to every TMU community.
Purpose Statement
“To creatively and faithfully invest in our campus through intentional communication, purposeful events, and joyful service to, through, and because of our great Savior Jesus Christ.”
ASB exists as a student-led extension of the Student Life department. We are here to facilitate exciting social events and inspiring opportunities for service that promote community on campus. In addition we provide the students and administration of TMU with a vital communication link.

The Master’s University Society for Science and Mathematics
Established 2010
The purpose of the society is to encourage scientific scholarship, curiosity, inquiry, colleague fellowship, and educational activities in a God-honoring manner, in agreement with The Master’s University mission statement. We seek to encourage camaraderie between science majors and faculty specifically, as well as the entire campus, to encourage student-faculty communication for the further development and sharpening of the science and math majors, and to provide community services such as: high school and peer tutoring, home school outreach, and environmental stewardship. We seek to live as ambassadors of Christ and TMU to the scientific and educational community, and to engage in creation and bioethical research, discussion, and scholarship; we desire to pursue biblical truth in every arena of science.

Joga Bonito
Established 2011
Our purpose is to provide an avenue to pursue excellence in soccer while glorifying God in fostering of relationships. We want to create an environment where the advanced soccer player and beginner player can learn from each other and play together. Because soccer is the world’s most popular sport and TMU has a large international community, this club promotes student body unity and provides a piece of home for those international students.
Cliff Hangers

Our purpose is to embark upon grand escapades with the objective of cultivating sanctifying relationships and gospel centered community. While exploring God’s creation we will discover God’s majesty and cultivate God-honoring friendships by hammocking and adventuring in unique places near southern California.
Entrepreneurship at its Finest
Established 2015
Founded to promote entrepreneurship in the heart of the student body and plant originality in the minds of the next generation. Through creative minds and a passion for entrepreneurship, history and economies have been altered for the better. By God’s grace, Smith Smoothies has added a unique presence to the Master’s University and we want to continue this influence by expanding into an official Society. This Society is solely dedicated to learn more about the business world; while keeping God at the center.
The Silent Club
Established 2015
Our desire is to practice “American Sign Language” in conversational set-ups so that we can become fluent in the language as well as to provide an opportunity for other students to comfortably learn some of the language. We want to eventually be able to use this language to spread the gospel to the Deaf people in our community.
Evangelism Society
Established 2012
The purpose of the TMU Evangelism Society is to equip students to be faithful ambassadors of Christ and to be able to respond to objections to the Christian faith from a biblical worldview. The TMU Evangelism Society will be focused on evangelism and evangelism training in the Santa Clarita Area.

Every year, as we experience life together at TMU, life can sometimes become challenging. Many times, the solution is as simple as open communication. Although faculty, staff, and administration have an open door policy with students, ASB is always willing to help as connector between the administration and the student body.
In a desire to serve, students can always bring concerns, proposals, or ideas to ASB. Our team strives to respond quickly and sincerely to your requests, so please feel free to contact us!
Our hope is to encourage every person and distinct community at Master’s to communicate more openly and lovingly. Together we strive for solutions that build our school and honor the Lord.
