student ministry

Toccoa Falls College seeks to glorify God through preparing men and women for lives of personal fulfillment and Christian service to the church and all humanity. The Student Ministry Department desires to build on classroom learning by providing opportunities for organized and supervised ministry. Students learn how to serve the church and all humanity through practical ministry experience.

The Student Ministry program seeks to challenge students toward spiritual and moral growth by involving them in practical Christian ministry. The successful student will demonstrate emotional maturity, a Christian commitment with a wholesome attitude, spiritual depth, and ethical principles.

Ministry experience is a requirement for graduation. For the Bachelor’s degree one must successfully complete a minimum of four semesters of field experience, five semesters for all Bible and Theology majors. For the Associate of Arts degree one must successfully complete a minimum of two semesters of field experience. Transfer students must successfully complete one assignment for each semester enrolled, with a maximum of four assignments for a B.A., B.M., or B.S. (five semesters for all Bible and Theology majors) and two assignments for an A.A. Each School has the option of requiring a minimum of six semesters of field experience. Students must check their particular catalog and major requirements. These requirements must be met in order to graduate, participate in the Commencement program or receive a diploma. All ministries are graded and become part of the student’s permanent record.

There are various opportunities for ministry. Students may work with children, youth, adults, or elderly people in preaching, teaching, counseling, music, drama, and serving opportunities. Decisions on a particular ministry will be made on the basis of student preference, catalog, and program requirements, and the approval of the Director of Student Ministry.
