Florida College

Partly researched

We have checked some of this college’s faith and campus life facts against its own official pages. There is not yet enough verified to grade them, so the findings below are what we could confirm. Anything not listed has not been confirmed yet.

• Retreats or spiritual emphasis weeks each year: One or two (One annual Bible lectureship each February, which counts as one spiritual emphasis week.)
• Bible studies, small groups and Christian student organizations: A few (Two Christian student groups are listed (Sowers and Woven), both with Bible study and prayer.)
• Faith life in residence halls (hall Bible studies, resident ministry leaders): In some halls (Dorm devotionals are described; no page says which residence halls hold them.)
• Chapel services during the week: 3 or more a week (Required chapel on each day of classes, Monday through Friday; the handbook excludes Fall Break days.)
• Chapel attendance expected of students: Required, with a set number of services each term (Attendance is required each class day and recorded by the Dean of Students' office; the handbook sets consequences for unexcused absences. This is recorded as required.)
• Student worship nights or praise services: Every week (Sowers meets campus-wide every Tuesday and Thursday evening.)
• Prayer opportunities (prayer rooms, prayer groups, days or weeks of prayer): Weekly (Woven, a women's group that meets to pray, is quoted with its weekly meetings; recorded as weekly.)
• A chapel or worship space on campus: Yes (Daily chapel services are held in Hutchinson Auditorium.)
• Published weekly schedule of chapel, worship and prayer: 5 or 6 times a week (5 weekly times documented: 5 chapel, 0 worship night, 0 prayer.)
• Bible or theology courses required of all bachelor's students: 2 courses (REL 1210 and REL 1240 (two courses) are required of all first-year students. The catalog also requires daily Bible class attendance each term for students enrolled in more than six hours; the count is the two named courses.)
• Required courses include study of the Old and New Testaments: Required of all students (REL 1210 History and Geography of the Old Testament and REL 1240 History and Geography of the New Testament are both required.)
• Faith integrated across the curriculum (stated in academic or faculty policy): Yes
• Bible, theology or ministry major offered: Yes
• Service or outreach office: Yes (FC SERVES, the college's outreach initiative, is an organized program that arranges student service projects.)
• Partnerships with local churches and ministries for service: Some (Impact Day service projects are with more than 30 local nonprofits, which are not all churches or ministries.)
• Service explicitly rooted in the Christian mission: Yes
