Spiritual Development
Chapel:
Chapels at BBC are developed to encourage and challenge you, as well as to
give you opportunities to lead in a worship setting. Chapels are held at
10:30
am on Wednesdays and Fridays. Attendance is required for most
students and each semester a noncredit, pass/fail (P/F) grade will appear on
your transcript.
Christian
Service: If you are enrolled for six or more credit hours, you must
report to the Christian Service Director on your involvement in a local congregation. A
non-credit pass/fail (P/F) grade is placed on your transcript for each
semester you are required to be involved in Christian Service. Students
involved in Internships are exempt from the Christian Service requirement.
Devotional Life:
Classes are opened with prayer and conducted in a spirit of reverence for
God. Students are encouraged to spend personal time as well as time with
small groups and roommates in prayer and in meditation on the Word of God.
Involvement in a
Local Church: You are expected to find a regular place of fellowship and
service in a local church.
Spiritual
Emphasis Week: A week is set apart each semester to emphasize a deeper
spiritual life. Usually a guest minister is brought in to speak, counsel,
and live on campus for the entire week.
Missions Emphasis
Week: Each spring a week is set aside to emphasize world missions and
mission involvement.
Spring
Conference: The last week of the spring semester features a time of
inspiration and fellowship between students, faculty, outstanding speakers,
and hundreds of visitors. The program provides inspiration and information
on many vital topics. This week is considered a part of the semester class
schedule. Attendance is required, and absences can impact course grades.
Internships: Most bachelor degrees require juniors and seniors to
participate in supervised on-the-job experience in the ministerial field for
which they are making preparation. Character formation is a primary goal of
the internship process, as well as learning skills for ministry. |
