SERVICE ASSIGNMENTS A unique aspect of the Ministries Department is the area of Service Assignments. Service Assignments provide each student the opportunity to develop teamwork, a godly work ethic, and hands-on training in various areas. Service Assignments cover every area from maintenance to housekeeping and from food service to administration. Each individual student is key in ensuring the operation of the Bible Institute as a whole. Manthano, a derivative of the Greek, means “to learn by putting what one learns into experience.” Perhaps one of the greatest lessons that we teach others is not so much in what we do, but in how we do it. Regular Service Assignment: This is the 8 hour-per-week assignment that each student is expected to fulfill during the academic year. This assignment has been determined in part by the form filled out by the student at registration, as well as the student’s assigned ministry, and by the needs of the Bible Institute. All service assignments will be scheduled using the Sling application, and notifications will be sent through your Canvas inbox.
Sunday Service Assignment: There are no regular service assignments scheduled on Sundays. This is an opportunity for students to participate in Work-for-Pay.
A. Absence/Late Students who are missing a ministry or service assignment due to sickness must complete the Health Excusal form found in Florida Campus Life in Canvas to notify the Ministries Department. Students can miss up to three Service Assignments per semester for debilitating illness without penalty. Missed Service Assignments do not roll over to the following semester. If a student misses more than three assignments, they will be assigned appropriate d-points (see “Discipline”, p. 26, IX) will be reassigned to make up missed assignments, and their Christian Disciplines grade will be reduced appropriately. B. Special Permissions Special Permissions do not excuse a student from a Service Assignment. A student with a Service Assignment that is scheduled during special permission will need to arrange with another student to trade shifts within the same work area.
