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. 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 these conferences 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 Spring 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. 2. Young Adults Weekend : At the end of the Snowcamp Season,, we host a retreat for for Young Adults and Bible Institute students. We bring in speakers and musicians to set the spiritual environment for the Spring semester. 3. Rooted Apologetics Conference: Students participate in a day-long Apologetics Conference, featuring main sessions from an outside speaker and breakout sessions from select members of our faculty.
