IV. SELECTION OF A MINISTRY Davis College is in an area where many exciting opportunities exist in local churches and Christian organizations for student ministry. There are also opportunities for students to serve through student organizations and campus ministries at Davis College. The following list suggests some of the many areas in which a student may minister: Bible Study Leader, Small Group Leader, Children’s Ministry, Rescue Mission, Discipleship, Evangelism, Music Worship Leader, Pastor, Assistant Pastor, Youth Pastor, Visitation, Sunday School Teacher, Campus Ministry, Camping, Cross Cultural, Jail and Prison Ministry, Missions, Outreach Music, Traveling Teams, Release Time, Street Witnessing, Nursing Home, Youth Group, After School Programs, Soup Kitchens, Community Events, Missions Trips. V. STUDENT MINISTRY CREDIT REQUIREMENTS Student Ministry credit is the recognition given by the Office of Academic Affairs for satisfactory participation in an approved area of Student Ministry. Students will be given either a “CR” or a “NCR”. If a student receives a “NCR” the student did not fulfill his assigned ministry in an acceptable manner, i.e., less than 10 weeks of ministry or if the student is negligent in church attendance (Students are required to attend all regularly scheduled Sunday morning worship service). If a student receives a “CR” they have completed their Student Ministry Credit acceptably. Students must satisfactorily complete (CR) the designated minimum number of semesters of ministry development required for their program: eight (8) semesters for BRE degree, six (6) semesters for three-year diploma, four (4) semesters for AAS degree and two (2) semesters for Bible certificate. Both full-time and part-time students must satisfy the Student Ministry requirement to graduate from a program. A prorated reduction in the required number of semesters of Student Ministry will be given for transfer students. All BRE students are required to participate in an approved internship in their area of academic concentration. The internship is either conducted during the summer or spread over both semesters of the senior year. While this internship is taken for academic credit, it also counts for Student Ministry credit. Students must follow the requirements for registering and reporting a student ministry to receive Student Ministry credit. A permanent record of a student’s credit will be kept in the Office of Academic Affairs. Prior to graduation, the Student Ministry Officer will send to the Registrar’s Office a recommendation of those students who qualify for graduation. Should a student fail to meet the minimum requirement for graduation, the Student Ministry Officer will recommend to the Registrar’s Office that the diploma be withheld until the student has met the requirements.
