Spiritual Life
Students at Toccoa Falls College experience a spiritual formation enviroment that is intentionally designed to encourage their spiritual growth. The love of Jesus Christ compels us to interact with each other, our community, and our world to ensure that the message of Christ's love continues to impact people's lives.
Not only does involvement in ministry make a difference today, it serves as training for the student's career and ministry. TFC acts as the training ground for Christian service where aspiring leaders can learn in a supportive environment, surrounded by those committed to their success. Through the activities listed below, every student has the opportunity to establish the needed foundation in Christ in order to become an effective servant in God's kingdom.
Chapel
Chapel services are held Monday through Thursday mornings and provide the primary setting for corporate worship that builds our community in Christ while allowing the Spirit an opportunity to minister to the individual. Chapel messages are given by college administration, faculty, staff, local ministers, and nationally known pastors and teachers. Special series throughout the year include the Missionary Lecture Series, Spiritual Emphasis Week, Leadership Week, World Outreach Conference and the Faith and Life Series.
Barnabas Groups
Barnabas Groups are spiritiual formation groups that meet weekly to provide a meaningful level of accountability, support, and encouragement through close relationships between faculty/staff and students in a small group setting.
Student Ministry
Student Ministry is organized as a practical extension of classroom learning. Each semester TFC students participate in vital ministries on campus, in local churches, with service organizations, and around the world.
Prayer Coordinators
Prayer coordinators are student leaders who work together with resident assistants on each floor to facilitate hall devotions, times for prayer and mutual ministry in the dorm setting.
Student Missions Fellowship
SMF is a student organization that meets on Wednesday evening to promote missions work and to inform students how the Lord is working in other cultures.
