Chapel

Chapel services are held five days a week in the Chapel. In an effort to achieve the spiritual objectives of the Statement of Purpose, the College conducts required Chapel services each week. Chapel is a strategic part of the total educational program at Shasta Bible College. The services are designed to cultivate spiritual growth and Biblical character qualities in each student’s life, and are designed to lay a solid foundation for life and ministry. Through exposure to the chapel program the following spiritual qualities of: love, obedience, integrity, righteousness, faithfulness, godly dependence, patience, perseverance, joy, peace, kindness, self-control, and a desire to serve are cultivated. As a result, students are encouraged to develop character qualities that include the ability: (1) to stand alone, (2) to be diligent, (3) to be attentive and accurate, (4) to be enduring and encouraging, (5) to exercise good stewardship over financial resources, (6) to exercise initiative, (7) to demonstrate compassion, (8) to maintain acceptable personal deportment, (9) to be honest and direct, and (10) to be responsible and trustworthy. These character qualities, so vital for life and ministry, are seen as the outgrowth of each student’s personal walk with God in which the Holy Spirit transforms him by the renewing of his mind. Additionally, chapel services offer opportunities to be challenged by local pastors, Christian community leaders, missionaries from around the world, and representatives of various Christian organizations. Because chapel is an integral part of the educational plan of the College Attendance at all chapel services is required of all full-time students and one chapel service per week for all part-time students.
