Learning Communities

For male students interested in learning and living out what it means to be a Man of God.

The Brotherhood Learning Community explores what being a Man of God is all about based on the biblical model that God created men with a very intentional purpose – one that should be valued, honored, and sought after. Community members learn how to encourage and support one another in the process of becoming godly men. Members live in the Ghetto stairwell and take the corresponding First-Year Integration course.

For male and female students intentionally seeking to integrate faith into every aspect of their lives.

The Christian Worldview Learning Community helps students live out their faith daily, by examining their beliefs, activities, and thoughts in the light of Scripture to more fully serve our Lord, Jesus Christ. Community members compare and contrast the worldview found in Scripture to those from around the world, helping equip them to be evangelists and apologists for Christ. Members live in the Shelter and Barracks stairwells and take the corresponding First-Year Integration course.

For male and female students passionate about seeking God’s will for their involvement in the Great Commission.

The Haystack Learning Community explores God’s work among the nations while inspiring and motivating students to actively consider how to join in His efforts in seeking and saving the lost. The name of this LC is drawn from the Haystack Prayer Movement of the 1800’s which started among college students and resulted in the first U.S. missionaries going abroad. Members live in the Shelter and Barracks stairwells and take the corresponding First-Year Integration course

For male and female students interested in learning and exploring the discipline of leadership together.

The Leadership Learning Community helps students explore what it means to be a leader and how the leadership role is growing and changing. Students are encouraged to become leaders who lead by example and inspire others to excellence. Leaders who cultivate a work environment of integrity and serve those who follow them. Leaders who develop character that is nothing short of a reflection of God. Members live in the Junkyard and Highlands stairwells and take the corresponding First-Year Integration course.

For male and female students interested in learning more about discerning God’s plan and purpose for their lives and challenging themselves in their faith.

The Understanding God’s Will Learning Community helps students discern and focus on God’s plan for their lives and challenges them to continually grow in their faith. Members are encouraged to challenge spiritual complacency and to see spiritual growth as a never-ending process that will significantly shape and change their lives in ways that reflect Him more. Members live in the Junkyard and Highlands stairwells and take the corresponding First-Year Integration course.

For female students who desire to explore God’s path for their lives and use their gifts to glorify Him.

The Women Walking with Jesus Learning Community explores the spiritual disciplines and how to practice them, as well as spiritual giftings and how to use them effectively. Students study women in Scripture and actively learn from women in the local and global community. Members share experiences and encourage one another in their relationships with Christ as they learn what it means to be women uniquely created by God. Members live in the Boondocks stairwell and take the corresponding First-Year Integration course.
