Dorm Devotions 1. Devotions are held in the dorms. Devotions are generally led by the Dorm RAs, with students presenting the devotional on a scheduled basis. 2. The Deans may occasionally change the time of dorm devos or schedule special speakers. Dorm RAs must first obtain permission from their RD to have a special speaker in the dorm. 3. All students are expected to participate in presenting devotions periodically each semester. D. Quiet Time 1. Time is set aside each day for students to have their own personal “Quiet Time” with the Lord. 2. Students do not have to be at their desk for Quiet Time. While we allow students to not be at their desk, a full 30 minutes must be designated to Quiet Time. No other activities are allowed during the Quiet Time period. Students with early morning work assignments must complete their Quiet Times before going to bed. 3. Students are required to use at least the current Word of Life Quiet Time Diary as part of their devotional period and to fill in the comments for each day. As a means of providing helpful accountability, staff, RAs and RDs will periodically check Quiet Time Diaries. 4. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, students are responsible for scheduling their own Quiet Time period. In each case, they must be completed prior to “In-dorms.” 5. Students must complete the Quiet Time Diary every day they are enrolled as a student, including weekends. During breaks Quiet Time is encouraged to keep accountability with other students. E. Conferences We consider Missions Conference to be an integral part of the program, and all students are required to attend. 1. Missions Conference: Several days are devoted to a special mission’s emphasis during the second semester. Speakers and seminars as well as personal interaction with the missionaries themselves provide valuable insight and motivation. God often uses this conference to dramatically change the direction of students’ lives. V. DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM “ Deeper “ is a discipleship program for any student enrolled at Word of Life Bible institute to meet with someone with expectation of bible study, prayer, encouragement, and accountability. As a Student Life Department our desire is to help you go from just a knowledge of the Bible which we believe can puff you up and makes you prideful (1 Corinthians 8:1) to a wisdom and love that helps you build up one another (Romans 14:19) and develop a deeper personal relationship with Christ (John 17:3.) 1. D Group: D-Groups are the primary mode of yearlong discipleship on campus. Led by staff members, these gender specific groups of 3-5 people create high accountability with other like-minded students. You can sign up through the discipleship application found on the Student Portal. 2. Home Groups: Students can sign up for a specific home group that meets periodically at that staff member’s home. These groups offer an atmosphere of encouraging community and relaxation with an emphasis on building relationships, discussion, and prayer. Sign-ups will be available in the fall. VI. RELATIONSHIPS We encourage men and women to form healthy relationships. Word of Life Bible Institute desires to teach and model an approach to moral purity in relationships that reflects biblical values. We believe that sexual intercourse and many of the acts leading up to it are reserved exclusively for the context of a biblically defined marriage (Genesis 2:22-25; Matthew 19:4-6). Outside this context, sexual activities such as sexual intercourse, oral sex, forms of intimate touching
