Student Life[ Personal Encouragement | Corporate Encouragement | The Lord's Day | The Goal ]
A strong emphasis upon individual growth and development must be maintained through the reading of the Bible and fellowship with God in prayer. Students are encouraged to spend time in the Bible and pray every day.
Chapels are held every day as the College meets together for worship, prayer, spiritual nourishment, and a challenge from the Scriptures. Occasionally, assemblies are held in place of chapel for consideration of special topics, class meetings, etc. A Spiritual Life Conference is held every fall semester and a Missionary Conference is conducted each spring semester. In addition, the entire student body and faculty unite for a Day of Prayer each semester.
The use of the Lord’s Day is to give attention to worship, fellowship, and service. Commitment to the local church is essential and students are required to attend regularly. Students are also encouraged to become involved in their church through a Christian Service ministry and to share their faith on a regular basis.
Every student is expected to deepen his/her spiritual commitment to Christ and His body by growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. By learning spiritual principles in the classroom and the application of biblical teachings outside the classroom, every student is encouraged to develop moral character. Growing spiritually is the foundation for growth intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically in order to be the servant that God desires every student to become—a servant prepared by God’s Spirit, His Word, and His fellowship to serve Jesus Christ in a needy world.
