Spiritual Life at Dallas Christian College
 Spiritual
Formation is vital to the Christian walk. From the freshman year to graduation,
spiritual growth is emphasized at Dallas Christian College. In the freshman
year spiritual disciplines are introduced and encouraged. In the sophomore
and junior years, small groups and mentoring, assist in spiritual formation.
Seniors are equipped to continue their spiritual growth after graduation.
Chapel, Service, Mentoring, Small Groups, and Residence Hall Devotions are
all focused on the spiritual growth of the student.
Chapel
Believing that campus life outside the classroom plays just as important
a role in the spiritual growth of the students as what happens in the
classroom, DCC strives to provide an environment to enhance such growth.
Weekly devotions are provided for campus residents. Chapels for the traditional
students are conducted two days a week, including Student Leadership Groups
and Professional Development Seminars. Chapel for non-traditional students
is conducted the second week of each month.
Christian Service Reports
The Christian service program of DCC seeks to encourage students in finding
venues for service during their college years, to help them develop their
spiritual gifts for ministry, to gain valuable experience, and to apply
what they learn in the classroom to the task of ministry. All Christians
are called to be servants. While these requirements appear at first to
be above and beyond the necessary academic work in preparing for ministry,
they are at the heart of preparing for service. There is no better way
to apply material learned in the classroom than to serve regularly while
at DCC. Entering Christian service hours is also a benefit to students
as they have a working resume when looking for internships and employment.
Music
Because music is invaluable in life, worship, evangelism and growth,
the development of musical ability is encouraged at DCC. The worship arts
program is designed to teach students to worship God and to communicate
the Gospel effectively.
The Concert Choir, open to all students, presents a message in song while
increasing musical skills. The choir takes a tour each school year.
Each summer SALTeens a group for students completing their ninth through
12th grades, gather on campus to rehearse, study, and minister together.
This week of intense work is followed by a week-long tour. The purpose
of these programs is to glorify God through the gift of music.
