Pine Knolls Alliance Church: South Glens Falls ....................................................................https://pineknolls.org/ Thurman Baptist Church ...................................................................................https://www.thurmanbaptist.com/ Westport Bible Church: Westport.........................................................................https://westportbiblechurch.org/ C. 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 Fall 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 beginning of the Spring semester, 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. V. DISCIPLESHIP At the Word of Life Bible Institute, we place a high level of importance on the spiritual formation of our student body. One way we accomplish this is through our discipleship program where Bible study, prayer, encouragement, and accountability are prioritized to develop a deeper personal relationship with Christ. As a Student Life Department, we desire to help you go from just a knowledge of the Bible which we believe can puff you up and make you prideful (1 Corinthians 8:1) to 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-Groups are the primary mode of yearlong, intentional discipleship on campus. Led by staff members, these gender-specific groups of 3-5 people create high accountability with other like-minded students. 2. Home Groups are the secondary mode of yearlong, relational discipleship on campus. Held at various staff members’ homes, these groups offer an atmosphere of encouraging community and relaxation with an emphasis on building relationships. Sign-ups will be available in the fall and spring.
