Forensics In recent years Biola University has been ranked with successful speech squads among colleges and universities nationwide. As an active member of the Pacific Southwest Collegiate Forensics Association, Biola regularly attends debate and individual events speech tournaments throughout the western states. Exceptional student performances qualify for national tournaments each year in individual events and debates. Other Performance Opportunities One-act play fundraisers for the forensics team, student film productions and occasional on-campus musical theatre productions have open auditions for all students, staff and faculty members. Performance dates are spread throughout the academic year. Spiritual Life As part of Biola University's commitment to impact the world for the Lord Jesus Christ, the mission of the Department of Spiritual Life is to cultivate disciples of Christ to grow in truth, transformation and testimony. The Department of Spiritual Life serves as a lighthouse to inspire students to take intentional steps to develop a closer relationship with Christ and to give testimony to the world. Efforts are concentrated in the areas of spiritual formation (discipleship) and apologetics (evangelism) with an emphasis on spiritual transformation and self discovery. The desire for students is for them to grow as disciples of Christ and be: • Anchored in God's Word... • Fervent in prayer... • Filled with the Spirit... • Noble-hearted servants of Christ... • Builders of the church... • Messengers of the gospel... As an integral part of Biola's academic program and mission, the Department of Spiritual Life provides a broad range of opportunities for ministry in areas such as discipleship, evangelism and outreaches. The Department of Spiritual Life is available to help students prayerfully seek where they can be involved during their years at Biola. If you have any questions, please call or come by their office located in the upper level of the Student Union Building.
