Faculty, administration, student life, and student ministries staffs realize that spiritual growth occurs in classes, chapel, resident life experiences, athletic team Bible studies, and ministry opportunities. We require undergraduates to attend chapel three times a week. The chaplain and staff develop programs designed to help students know God and obey God's Word. Chapel speakers challenge the entire college community to think and live biblically. The president of the university speaks regularly in chapel and often addresses moral issues.
Students take a significant role in planning and presenting chapel services.
This six-week program is designed to inform students about opportunities for spiritual life and growth, including discipleship groups, ministry organizations, and personal spiritual counsel. Settings include service agencies, churches, and schools and may involve urban, rural, and international settings. Students are required to write reflective papers on each service experience. The possession, use, or distribution of alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs is prohibited for students on and off campus. The Counseling Center provides counseling for students suffering from alcohol or drug abuse and presents seminars on the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
