Dear Prospective Student,

In 1987, I enrolled as a student at Columbia International University. CIU

attracted me because of the universitys heart for reaching the nations with the

message of Jesus Christ.

During my student years, I learned about CIUs five core values: the Authority of

Scripture, World Evangelization, Prayer & Faith, Victorious Christian Living and

Evangelical Unity. These core values represent the DNA of CIU. They shape

and define us by giving us purpose and passion. Ive never forgotten my stu-dent years here at CIU!

Today, as in 1987, CIU continues its mission of training Christian ministers and

ministering Christians to impact the world with the message of Christ. Your Bible

major, combined with one of 13 professional majors, will equip you to share

Christ anytime, anywhere.

Your education at CIU will transform you spiritually, physically, mentally and

emotionally. You will gain new friends, new encounters and experience God

anew in different places and at different times.

I invite you to come and spend time on our campus. Walk into our classrooms,talk to our faculty, see our passion, live our core values and experience what its

like to really know Him and make Him known.

This catalog contains information about living and studying at CIU, but it may

not tell you everything you want to know. If we can help you personally, please

call (800) 777-2227 or e-mail the Admissions Office at [email protected] to

discuss your specific needs or questions with one of our counselors.

Warmly in Christ,

William H. Jones

Introducing Columbia International UniversityGo into all the world and preach the Gospel to every nation

Welcome to a dyamic uiversity that trais

Christias for global missios, full-time vocatioal

Christia miistry i a variety of strategic profes-

sios ad marketplace miistry.

I additio to the Udergraduate School,

Columbia Iteratioal Uiversity (CIU) icludes a

Graduate School ad CIU Semiary & School of

Missios. The corporatio also operates Be

Lippe School (a Pre-K through 12th grade

Christia school) preparig yougsters to fulfill

the Great Commissio. CIU also reaches out with

two Christia radio statios, WMHK i Columbia,

S.C. ad new Life 91.9 i Charlotte, n.C.

Located o 400 sceic acres ext to the Broad

River, just miutes from the hub of South

Carolias capital city of Columbia, the beautiful

campus is home to a diverse group of Christias.

They represet may deomiatios, ethic ad

cultural backgrouds, ad reflect the socio-eco-

omic diversity of the world uited by their

desire to kow Christ ad make Him kow.

If youre lookig for a educatio thats global,

biblical, ad practical, welcome to CIU!

History

Columbia Iteratioal Uiversity (CIU) was bor

out of a prayer group of six wome who sought

the Lord for a meas to evagelize ad disciple

mill workers i Columbia. The results wet

beyod their expectatios. The CIU miistry was

fouded i 1923 as Columbia Bible School, occu-

pyig the former Coloia Hotel i dowtow

Columbia i 1927. We became Columbia Bible

College i 1930, oe of the atios first four-yearBible colleges. Graduate courses were first

offered i 1936, markig the begiig of what is

ow CIU Semiary & School of Missios. The

school moved to its preset 400-acre campus i

suburba Columbia i 1960 ad chaged its cor-

porate ame to Columbia Iteratioal Uiversity

i 1994.

Robert C. McQuilki was CIUs first presidet,

holdig the office util his death i 1952. He was

succeeded by G. Alle Fleece, who led the mi-

istry util 1966. Robertso McQuilki, so of the

first presidet, served from 1968-1990. After him,

Johy V. Miller, CIU faculty member ad former

pastor, served as presidet from 1991-1999.

George Murray was appoited presidet i 1999

ad as chacellor i 2007. Dr. Bill Joes curretly

serves as presidet.

CIU was fouded for the purpose of preparig

studets to kow Him ad to make Him kow,

as our motto states. That purpose remais the

same today. The Udergraduate School,

Graduate School, ad Semiary offer regioally

ad professioally accredited courses of studyragig from oe-year certificates through the

doctorate. All programs emphasize spiritual

developmet, biblical traiig ad miistry skills

developmet. From the early years util the pres-

et, CIU has focused o five core values: The

Authority of Scripture, World Evagelizatio,

Victorious Christia Livig, Prayer & Faith, ad

Evagelical Uity.

The schools first class boasted seve studets.

Curretly, CIU erollmet icludes over 1,200 stu-dets, icludig several hudred studets

ivolved i o-traditioal ad distace educatio

programs. Approximately 17,000 studets have

received traiig at CIU. Hudreds of alumi

serve i most coutries of the world, makig CIU

a leader i traiig laborers for the harvest.

Institutional Perspective

Pup

Columbia Iteratioal Uiversity is a multi-

deomiatioal Christia istitutio of higher edu-

catio dedicated to preparig world Christias to

serve God with excellece. Its educatioal uits

offer degree programs ragig from associate

level to doctoral level. All postsecodary pro-

grams emphasize spiritual formatio, mastery of

biblical cotet ad iterpretatio skills, cultiva-

tio of a biblical worldview, miistry skills devel-

opmet, ad vocatioal competecy. The faculty

seeks to challege the studets heads (itellec-

tual iquiry), hearts (spiritual formatio), ad

hads (practical miistry skills) i a balaced way.

CIU serves studets from more tha 40 states

ad more tha 30 foreig coutries with the

majority comig from five Southeaster states.

More tha 52 church deomiatios ad ide-

pedet fellowships are represeted i the faculty

ad studet body. CIU graduates serve i voca-

tioal Christia miistries ad i the marketplace

with about 30 percet of CIU graduates workig

i cross-cultural cotexts.

Mission

Columbia Iteratioal Uiversity educates peo-

ple from a biblical worldview to impact the

atios with the message of Christ. The imple-

metatio of this educatioal purpose by theUdergraduate School of Columbia Iteratioal

Uiversity (CIU) is expressed i the followig

statemet: The purpose of udergraduate studies

is to prepare studets to become world

Christias who serve God with excellece i

cross-cultural, church, marketplace, ad other

miistry roles.

We pursue this missio as a post-secodary aca-

demic commuity modelig, metorig ad moti-

vatig studets to cultivate spiritual vitality adcharacter formatio, to acquire kowledge i bib-

lical cotet ad gai iterpretatio skills, to

develop competece as critical thikers ad

commuicators, to formulate a comprehesive

biblical worldview for themselves, ad to explore

ad iitiate experieces that are miistry-focused,

based o their callig.

Our purpose is summarized i our motto, To

kow Him ad to make Him kow. Both the

curriculum ad the commuity life at CIU are

itetioally desiged to stimulate a dyamiccotext i which each studet is assisted ad

ecouraged to pursue the followig istitutioal

goals:

Kow Christ by learig submissio to His

Lordship ad depedece o the Holy Spirit,

thus makig progress i coformig to His

image.

Kow the Word by gaiig mastery of its co-

tet ad uderstadig of its meaig, by

assimilatig ad applyig its truth, ad by

developig skill i the use of study tools.

Kow oeself by a icreasig awareess of

spiritual gifts, persoality types, ad persoal

potetial.

Kow people by becomig sesitive to their

eeds ad the cotexts i which they live, ad

by improvig commuicatio with them, what-

ever their cultures.

Kow the skills required i a particular area of

miistry. By miistry we cosciously ad

itetioally iclude those who are called by

God to miister i ad through professioal dis-

ciplies - whether i commuicatio, educatio,

psychology, or other professioal disciplies

where traiig programs are beig developed.

I additio to the faculty, the uiversity provides

resources for learig, the icetives, ad the

curricular guidace ecessary for progress

toward these goals. We expect studets to be

active participats i the spiritual, academic,

social, ad physical dimesios of college life. As

they do, they come to kow Him better ad are

able to make Him kow more effectively. We

believe that Gods purpose for Columbia

Iteratioal Uiversity istitutioally, ad for its

faculty ad studets idividually, is achieved olyby the superatural work of the Holy Spirit

through yielded believers.

Philosophy of Education, Goals andFaculty Responsibilities

A ovvw

The basic educatioal philosophy of Columbia

Iteratioal Uiversity is derived from two

essetial goals, oe persoal ad oe vocatioal.

A Pal Gal: We desire growth i persoality,character, spiritual maturity, ad kowledge. At

Columbia Iteratioal Uiversity, our objective

experietially is to kow God ad become

icreasigly like His so, Jesus Christ. To become

like Christ implies that we kow who He is. Our

kowledge of Christ has two dimesios: to kow

all we may kow about Him cogitively, ad to

kow Him i itimate relatioship experietially.

8/188

We know God because he has revealed Himself.

God has revealed Himself through general revela-

tion (the creation and its order), through special

revelation (the Bible), and through his Son Jesus

Christ (the Incarnation). General revelation reveals

Gods world as it is (reality); it declares His glory.

Special revelation reveals Gods character, manssin problem, and Gods solution for mans problem

(salvation as a free gift). Christ Incarnate reveals

the relationship dynamics of the Trinitarian God

and His desire for a reconciled relationship with

mankind as well as healthy relationships among

mankind. On these three aspects of Gods revela-

tion of Himself, the Bible serves as the core cur-

riculum; Scripture is our ultimate authority as we

explore all realms of knowledge.

A Vocational Goal:We design professional pro-grams to enable students to fulfill, as effectively as

their potential will allow, Gods purpose or calling

for their lives. We prepare students for various

vocational responsibilities, whether they serve God

in their home country or in a cross-cultural setting.

We also understand that vocational responsibility

must always come with a balance of home, church

and other community responsibilities. Fulfilling

ones responsibilities in a godly, balanced way is

our reasonable ministry (service); this perspective

is equally true whether one serves in a vocationalministry position or in a volunteer ministry position.

We believe God has given us everything we need

for life and godliness and that the best spiritual

leaders are those who submit completely to the

lordship of Jesus Christ, which requires accepting

Christs challenge and empowering to fulfill His last

great commission to make disciples (Jesus follow-

ers) among every people group. We believe a

healthy Christian life will keep this great commis-

sion in focus through use of a thorough knowledge

and understanding of Gods Word, an obedient

Spirit-filled walk, a love for what Christ is doing

through His bride, the Church, and an open appre-

ciation for what God has already done in the world.

Conceptual Framework

In order to conceptualize the components and

interactions within the educational process for

undergraduate studies at CIU, the faculty has

developed the following visual model to help clari-

fy the inter-relationships and tasks associated

with healthy education that is Kingdom oriented.

In this model, one can see that there is a triangle

of tasks for the key participants in biblical highereducation at CIU. The faculty has the responsibili-

ty toinspire, develop, and equip students to

pursue God for a lifetime and to serve as strategic

leaders in His global cause. Students have the

responsibility to embrace, inquire, and refine

their knowledge and critical thinking processes as

well as refine professional and relational skills and

talents for service to God and others. Most

importantly, we expect God to participate in the

learning process. His role is to transform and

illumine the minds of both students and teachersand to empowerall for a life of godliness and

service.

At the core of our educational experience, we

believe that all students (1) will mature as follow-

ers of Christ, (2) will develop intellectual inquiry

skills for both the study of the Word and the study

of our world, and (3) will demonstrate a level of

ministry competency by which they make a differ-

ence as leaders within their homes, their church-

es, and their communities, as well as become

leaders within their chosen vocations or callings.

One also notes in this model that growing rela-

tionships are as significant to the educational

experience as the triangle of teaching/learning

tasks. Growing relationships should be evidenced

between faculty and students, between faculty

and the Lord, between students and the Lord,

and between the CIU community and the Church

of Jesus Christ, sometimes called the Body of

Christ, to whom we submit ourselves. These rela-

tioships are rooted i the Word, prayer, faith, wor-

ship, ad fellowship. While a studet, life chage is

the result of accomplishig the educatioal core

experiece. Out of this growig experiece,

steeped i healthy relatioships, our studets

mature so that they ca become servat leaders

with a passio for walkig with God ad a strategiceye for the Kigdom busiess i the 21st cetury.

While ot withi this picture, the faculty has

worked hard at idetifyig sigificat iputs ad

expected outcomes associated with this cocep-

tual framework. The faculty attempt to assess the

success of graduates i reachig stated learig

outcomes. As they assess studet success ad

challeges, they egage i a cotiuous process

of adjustig educatioal programs so they meet

the ever-chagig eeds of college studets.

Pga dg

To fulfill these persoal ad vocatioal goals, we

offer a variety of academic programs, with Bible

as the core of each. To master the Bible, it is ec-

essary to kow its cotet ad uderstad its

meaig. Further, to apply the truth of the

Scripture so that it chages patters of thikig

ad behavior is vitally importat. Skill i observig,

iterpretig, ad applyig Gods Word is eces-

sary. Bible surveys, book studies, topical Bible

studies (i.e., theology), ad Bible-related subjectsare desiged with these purposes i mid. To

develop skill i the use of the Bible, tools for study

ad commuicatio are leared ad used i such

courses as hermeeutics, biblical laguages,

homiletics ad others.

However, to make Christ kow i the full sese of

the word, it is ecessary ot oly to study the

Bible ad Bible-related subjects, but to kow the

people to whom we would make Christ kow

ad how to commuicate best with those people.

I studyig people ad ature, we differ from Bible

schools that teach oly the Bible ad Bible-related

subjects. To kow huma ature, we study psy-

chology, athropology, ad sociology. To kow

huma thought, we study huma religio, philoso-

phy, ad literature. To kow huma experiece,

we study history, geography, the arts, ad more.

To kow empirically about creatio ad quatita-

tive reasoig, we study math, physical sciece,

biology, ecology, ad critical thikig. We study

ot oly our message, but we study those with

whom we would share the message so that we

may share it most effectively. Most importatly, we

study to kow the Oe who created ad sustais

all, for to kow ad reverece Him is the begi-

ig of wisdom, the foudatio o which weuderstad the message we deliver.

As a istitutio of higher educatio, there are at

least two relevat reasos for studyig geeral

educatio. First, a importat part of studyig the

various disciplies i geeral educatio is to

become the fully formed, creative, reasoig,

social creatures that God desiged us to be. I so

doig we eter ito richer relatioships with both

God ad our eighbors. The secod vital reaso

to study geeral educatio is the ability to com-

muicate Christ effectively. By becomig well-

formed, ot oly will we have reasoig skills,

worldview uderstadig, athropological kowl-

edge ad historical perspectives that will eable

us to reach others, we will have richer cultures ad

worldviews ito which we ca draw people.

not oly do we study the Bible ad the books of

ature icludig the scieces ad humaities, but

we seek to develop the professioal tools of good

commuicatio so that we make Christ kow

effectively. For this reaso, skills i couselig,teachig, preachig, evagelism, shepherdig,

missios, leadership, maagemet, ad music are

developed accordig to the idividuals gifts ad

callig. We seek to provide a itroductio to or-

mal techical skills withi a program to fulfill our

vocatioal objectives, kowig that a associate

degree or a bachelors degree are ofte viewed as

etry level requiremets ito various positios

vocatioally.

Preparatio for miistry ad professioal service

would ot be complete without supervised experi-

ece i the real world. Uder the directio of the

Miistry Skills Developmet Departmet, studets

egage i a variety of miistries ad professioal

experieces so that each studet puts ito prac-

tice what he or she is learig i the classroom.

Wheever possible, miistry skills assigmets

correlate with methods courses ad upper-level

program studies to further ehace the learig

process.

9



10/188

Through the learig process i academic set-

tigs, miistry skills experieces, ad ormal stu-

det life, we believe that a spiritual trasformatio

takes place i the studet throughout his or her

college career at CIU. We also provide special

opportuities to help studets grow spiritually

through chapels, cofereces, days of prayer,other campus strategies (i.e., small group miistry)

ad ivolvemet i local churches to ehace

spiritual trasformatio. Oes walk with God

matures; oes relatioships with others grows;

ad oes uderstadig ad cofidece i what

God is doig withi is trasformed ito a spiritual-

ly sesitive adult member of society committed to

kowig ad lovig Christ, appreciatig His cre-

atio, ad becomig hoest ad itimate i all

types of relatioships. The result of this spiritual

trasformatio is sometimes called the spirit-filledlife or Victorious Christia Livig.

eucaal taWe ofte describe our educatioal process at CIU

as a educatioal triad. Three educatioal com-

poets come together to provide balaced edu-

catio. The first compoet is academic

excellece with Bible at the core. This compoet

focuses o Cotet ad may be characterized

by educatig oes head. The secod compo-

et is spiritual formatio by which studets grow

toward maturity i Christ. This compoet focus-

es o Character ad may be characterized by

educatig oes heart. The third compoet is

miistry skill developmet or experietial educa-

tio i which studets systematically practice

skills related to persoal ad vocatioal goals i

the commuity away from the classroom. This

compoet focuses o Competece ad may

be characterized by educatig oes hads.

faculy rpbly

Our objectives ad missio statemet compel usto esure that all college programs serve as clear

strategies for graduates to fulfill their Great

Commissio madate i the cotext of the

church. Our program philosophy ad desig

causes us to commit ourselves, without reserva-

tio, to the followig:

Model for our studets ad cultivate withi our

studets priciples of Victorious Christia Livig

through our example, our teachig ad our

mutual submissio to lifestyle stadards that

hoor Christ ad the authority of His Word.

Model the life of scholars who are committed to

academic excellece ad disciplie ad serve

oe aother as those who are committed to a

collegial exploratio of kowledge i commuity.

Require a Biblical Studies major ad a healthy

breadth of Geeral Educatio courses for every

tet with the studets gifts, abilities, ad callig.

to help fulfill the Great Commissio i accor-

dace with our historic commitmet to world

Doctrinal Standard

Teachig at Columbia Iteratioal Uiversity is

based o the great fudametals of the Christia

faith, all of which ceter i the perso of Jesus

Christ, our crucified, rise, ad glorified Savior

ad Lord. The followig, together with other

Christia priciples of doctrie ad practice,

icludig the affirmatio of the full trustworthiessof Scripture, which i its origial writig was ver-

bally ispired ad without error, shall be the basis

of the faith ad doctrie of Columbia Iteratioal

Uiversity:

1. The Bible is the ispired Word of God, the writ-

te record of His superatural revelatio of

Himself to ma, absolute i its authority, com-

plete i its revelatio, fial i its cotet, ad

without ay errors i its teachigs.

2. All me i their atural state are lost, alieated

from God, spiritually dead: All have sied,

ad fall short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23).

3. Salvatio is oly by grace, a free gift of God,

through faith i the Lord Jesus, who died for

our sis accordig to the Scriptures (1 Cor.

15:3). Those who thus receive Christ by faith

have their sis forgive (Eph. 1:7) ad their

hearts cleased (Acts 15:9), are bor of the

Spirit, become childre of God (J. 1:12, 13),

ad are made ew creatures i Christ (II Cor.

5:17).

4. God is Oe God, Who reveals Himself i three

Persos, Father, So, ad Holy Spirit. Jesus

Christ, as the Scriptures affirm, is the So of

God ad So of ma. He was bor of a virgi

ad is Himself very God. The Scriptures alsodeclare the deity ad persoality of the Holy

Spirit.

5. Our Lord Jesus rose from the dead i the same

body that was laid to rest i the tomb (J.

20:25-27). The bodies of all believers who die

will be raised from the dead, ad they will

receive a icorruptible body like uto His glori-

ous body (I Cor. 15:53; Phil. 3:21). All other me

shall be raised uto the resurrectio of judg-

met (J. 5:28, 29).

6. Christias, bor of the Spirit, are to live the ew

life i the preset power of the Spirit. If we live

by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk (Gal.

5:16-25; Col. 2:6). The Christias resposibility

ad his ormal attitude of life is to yield himself

to God (Rom. 6:13), trustig God to keep him.

7. Christia livig icludes Christia service, the

wiig of souls aroud us, ad the preachig

of the Gospel i the uttermost parts of the

earth. I carryig o this work there is eeded

the superatural power of the Holy Spirit whichis grated to every believer as he yields ad

trusts (Acts 1:8; I Cor. 12:7; Eph. 3:20; Acts

5:32). Ad i all of this service, prayer is to have

the cetral place (J. 14:12-14; Eph. 6:18, 19).

8. Jesus Christ will come agai to earth the sec-

od time (Heb. 9:28), persoally (Acts 1:11; I

Thess. 4:16), bodily (Acts 1:11; Col. 2:9), ad

visibly (Matt. 26:64; Rev. 1:7). His comig will

precede the age of uiversal peace ad right-

eousess foretold i the Scriptures (Matt.

24:29, 30, 42; II Thess. 2:7, 8; Rev. 20:1-6).

Denominational Relationships

Although Columbia Iteratioal Uiversity is

deomiatioally uaffiliated, it seeks to serve a

variety of evagelical deomiatios ad ide-

pedet cogregatios. The faculty ad studet

body reflect church affiliatios across a broad

spectrum of north America ad o-north

America deomiatios ad church fellowships.

Studets fid exposure to persos from various

ecclesiastical traditios, which are uited i their

commitmet to evagelical orthodoxy, a erich-

ig ad beeficial experiece. CIU prepares its

studets to retur to the deomiatio or church

traditio that urtured them. The curriculum

makes provisio for church polity courses taught

by miisters who represet various deomia-

tios. We also provide for elective courses o

Completing a Degreet mag a dg

Commuity expectatio (evagelical or secular)

does ot ultimately determie the meaig of a

degree from CIU. We are resposible to defie our

ow purpose ad establish our ow achievemetstadards. All programs provide sigificat trai-

ig for vocatioal Christia service. Criteria for

gratig a degree are desiged to reflect the stu-

dets character ad the studets competecy i

both geeral ad professioal areas.

Because of the whole life traiig character of the

program ad its basic objective, To kow Him

ad to make Him kow, earig a degree at

CIU ivolves more tha merely meetig academic

requiremets. It also requires that a studet reflect

adequate achievemet of the CIU objectives

(icludig such o-academic areas as persoal

moral character, positive iterpersoal ad family

relatioships, ad local church ivolvemet).

Although o-academic objectives may ot be

measured with complete objectivity, we believe

valid ad useful assessmet is possible ad be-

eficial for studet maturatio.

To qualify for a degree doctrially, a studet must

demostrate a uderstadig of basic biblical

doctries ad affirm the istitutios doctrialstatemet (with the exceptio of the fial se-

tece, which is ot a madatory requiremet) as

a effective articulatio of basic truths taught i

Scripture. Recogizig the cetrality ad impor-

tace of Scripture as our ultimate authority to

guide oe through life, a studet receivig a CIU

degree must also affirm his or her belief i the

doctrie of the ierracy of the Scriptures.

*The faculty recogizes that spiritual formatio

may be defied i various ways. After careful

cosideratio, i 2005, the faculty defied spiri-

tual formatio as follows: Spiritual formatio is

the diviely ordaied trasformatioal process

by which the Holy Spirit leads believers to

embrace the Lord Jesus Christ through the

Word of God, ad by that relatioship becomeprogressively more free from si ad more like

Christ. The Spirits formative work occurs i the

Priciples for leadership, spiritual trasformatio

ad miistry formatio are ot foud withi a si-

gle disciplie or course at CIU. We believe that

leadership developmet for believers is iter-disci-pliary ad requires balace betwee kowledge,

skill developmet ad life experieces.

CIU believes that all servat-leaders eed to kow

the Lord, kow themselves, kow ad relate posi-

tively to others, uderstad ad appreciate the

uiqueess of others ad their cultures, uder-

stad Scripture icludig the Creatio Madate

ate ad steward Gods creatio ad do busiess

ethically with others.

We believe leadership is expressed i multiple

settigs. Each graduate will face differig leader-

ship resposibilities i the home, i local church-

es, i vocatioal settigs, ad i the commuity

where he or she lives. I the cotext of Scripture,

each servat-leader ca live ad lead victoriously

because His divie power has give us every-

thig we eed for life ad godliess through our

kowledge of Him (2 Peter 1:3).

To this ed, the focus of the first two years of a

studets bachelors degree program emphasizes

biblical studies, geeral educatio courses, ad

Christia Service Learig (CSL) opportuities.

The goal i these two years of CSL is to ecour-

age studets to build service-orieted relatio-ships withi the local church.

CIU ecourages churches to use studets i a

variety of ways. Local churches will ecourage

studets to participate i evagelism related

opportuities, i age-graded discipleship ad

Bible teachig related opportuities, i missio

outreach, ad i other areas of service withi the

body of Christ. While school is i sessio, our

commitmet is to ecourage studets to build

faithful relatioships withi a local body of Christ.CIU will ecourage studets to develop log-term

relatioships with a sigle church rather tha

boucig from church to church.

The secod year goal is for these studets to

cotiue a relatioship withi the local church ad

(if appropriate to the studets giftig ad goals)

allow studets greater freedom to choose a

Christia service learig opportuity withi the

broader commuity.

Durig the fial two years of a bachelors degreeprogram, the focus will emphasize kowledge ad

practical skill developmet associated with the

professioal major ad/or miors that each stu-

det selects. This kowledge is applied i

practicum, itership, ad other practical skill

developmet withi the commuity. Throughout

the etire time as a CIU studet, each servat-

leader has opportuities to participate i studet-

led leadership o campus ad withi the commu-

ity. This icludes practical opportuities withi

small groups amog peers, the chapel program,

studet orgaizatios, ad local churches.

Capl, Cc, a Lcal Cuc

expc

The faculty requires every udergraduate studet

to regularly atted a local church while erolled at

CIU; we ecourage a serious commitmet ad

ivolvemet as a college studet i order to

develop the habits ad commitmets ecessary

to fuctio as a servat-leader i a church settig.

Local churches provide opportuities for studets

to gai leadership experiece.

The faculty also requires every udergraduate stu-

det to regularly atted ad participate i the

campus chapel program. O Tuesdays adThursdays, udergraduates will joi the uiversity

commuity i all uiversity chapels; o

Wedesdays ad Fridays, meetigs ad chapels

focus o the udergraduate school commuity.

Chapels provide opportuities for studets to gai

leadership experiece.

Special cofereces, days of prayer, ad other

evets are scheduled throughout the school year

by the faculty to help itegrate faith ad practice.

I additio, these evets provide opportuities forstudets to gai leadership experiece.

Ca svc Lag (CsL)

The studet, havig idetified a local church dur-

ig the first semester experiece, will faithfully

atted that church ad voluteer at least 20 hours

of service their freshma year ad 30 hours per

semester their sophomore year withi the church

miistry or a miistry desigated by the church.

This service must be documeted ad be

approved by the church/miistry, ad a record

submitted to the MSD office. no credit will be

give, but completio of the service hours is a

graduatio requiremet. Lack of faithfuless i

attedig or participatig i a local church is a

issue related to Christia character; failure to

demostrate faithfuless will be addressed by the

Studet Life Office.
