STUDENT LIFE DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT The mission of Student Life is to help students cultivate healthy relationships with Christ and others through providing leadership, a discipleship atmosphere, and development in spiritual disciplines. STAFF INTERACTION Word of Life Bible Institute strives to maintain a close relationship between students and staff. Many members of the staff of Word of Life Fellowship are involved in discipling students during the school year. Staff members encourage students as they grow in their personal time with the Lord, discuss things they are learning in class, and challenge them in areas where the student may be struggling. Students have ready access to any staff or faculty member and are encouraged to seek help and counsel for spiritual, academic, or personal problems. STUDENT LEADERSHIP Every year a number of students are selected to participate in the leadership of our campus. The two primary positions of leadership are Dorm Resident Assistants and the Service Experience Program. Students are selected based on their high Christian character, leadership ability and contribute in a major way to the development of the student body. Student Leaders also receive a scholarship. STUDENT ACTIVITIES Bringing together Bible knowledge and practical application of that truth is a key component of the Student Life Department. Each semester the Student Events Coordinator organizes a variety of social activities to give students a fun way to get to know other students and to implement in a practical way what they are learning in the classroom. Some of these events include coffee houses, paintball, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, talent shows, sports tournaments, as well as many other events and activities. A variety of sports opportunities also exist at Word of Life both in casual and intramural settings including football, soccer, ultimate frisbee, volleyball, basketball, and table tennis. There are a variety of means, in addition to the classroom, for students to grow in their walk with God. The Student Life Department is responsible for developing chapel services and Sunday morning worship where the Word of God is taught in a passionate and dynamic way. STUDENT COUNCIL Student Council members are elected by the student body and volunteer their time to serve as representatives of the student body to staff and faculty, as well as serving the student body by hosting on-campus events. HEALTH CENTER Campus Security and Health Center staff, in conjunction with local 911 services, are available to respond to emergencies. Upstate Concierge Medicine provides telemedicine access for routine illnesses and injuries. This service provides fast and easy healthcare access 24/7/365. All students are automatically enrolled as members in this program while they are enrolled at the Bible Institute. With this program, students have access to a physician by phone, with secure messaging and/or video chat. Our facilities are located near off-campus, walk-in and emergency-care facilities. Students may contact one of the area medical centers to schedule a doctor’s appointment.
