精神生活 on Campus
We Believe that 精神生活 is a Key Component of Every 学生s’ Educational Experience.
A biblical worldview is central to our way of life at LBC. It’s the foundation for our academics, and it drives how we live, 我们如何工作, and how we eng年龄 each other. LBC provides numerous opportunities for students to know and serve God on campus and in the community, like through our weekly chapels services, mission opportunities and Christian service.
Weekly Chapel Services
Weekly chapel services are the one place and time where the entire LBC community in Lancaster can gather to encour年龄 one another and receive instruction and challenge from the Word of God. Chapel services are at the core of Lancaster Bible College’s effort to encour年龄 students to eng年龄 in Scripture, form disciples and build community. Regular chapel attendance is expected for all traditional undergraduate students – both residents and commuters. Chapel is held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:10 to 10 a.m. in the Good Shepherd Chapel. Chapel is a viral part of the LBC curricula.
The Good Shepherd Chapel, built in 2000 and 2001, is the first dedicated worship facility on the Lancaster Bible College campus. The large brick structure is located at the center of our campus and seats 1,600. All student chapel services, 音乐会, 会议, 召开, commencement and other special services are held here.
Missions Conference Attendance
Each spring semester classes are paused for our annual 3-day missions conference. Led by our Intercultural Studies and the 学生 Mission Fellowship organization, this conference exposes students to the needs of missions throughout the world and bring mission 年龄ncy representative to campus to eng年龄 with students in education and activities. The Missions Conference helps to further the college’s vision to develops the head, heart and hands of servant ministry leaders for global impact.
祷告日
Once each semester the entire student body, faculty and staff of LBC devote an entire day to prayer. The normal day class schedule is pause so that student can participate in day of prayer and worship activities.
Christian Service
Christian Service is built into each academic major and plays an important part in the overall education program of the college. Its function is to assist students in experiencing various forms of practical ministry experience to proclaim Christ by serving Him in the Church and society. 学生s will learn to cultivate an attitude of humility through the development of relationships, seek opportunities to share the gospel with those in spiritual need and learn hands-on skill through their Christian Service Opportunity. Christian Service I & II are required sophomore level courses consisting of two full academic semesters which provide direct experience under the supervision of experienced professionals in the Church and society.
旅行团队
Looking to experience a cross-cultural ministry as part of a team? Throughout the semester, our School of Bible & Ministry take students on Journey Team trips to the furthest corners of the world to live out the gospel by bringing hope to the hopeless. Whether working at an orphan年龄 in Haiti, helping to build a church in Jamaica, teaching English in Germany, doing sports camps in the Philippians or engaging in street evangelism in Thailand, these experiences leave a lasting impact on both places and people.
