A primary reason many students choose to attend Central is the ability
to
pursue a college degree within a Christ-centered environment. The
Chapel/Convocation
Program serves as the campus community focal point, designed to not
only
encourage spiritual growth, but also to draw you into a transforming
relationship with Jesus Christ. The Chapel/Convocation Program is
usually held Tuesday and Friday mornings at 9:30 a.m. in Greer
Auditorium.
Chapels are specifically designed to personally challenge you to encounter God individually as you worship corporately. Through a dramatic use of the communicative arts, high-energy worship, communion, and relevant life-challenges, Chapel serves as the fuel that can propel you on toward full devotion to Christ.
We have tried to build a program that is responsive to student
needs, desires,
and input.
The purpose of the Chapel program at Central Christian College is to:

H.B.C.(Healthy, Biblical Community) is the name of our small group ministry where students meet to mutually support one another as they become fully devoted followers of Christ. Central believes that maximized learning takes place when students are involved in a supportive and meaningful group environment. Therefore, H.B.C. is designed as a place where you can engage in vital relationships. H.B.C. groups meet at various times and locations to better serve student schedules.
H.B.C. revolves around the community. RA's (Resident Advisors), RD's (Resident Directors) and other student and faculty leaders serve as group facilitators. Students must sign up for an H.B.C. group during the first week of each semester.
H.B.C. groups are designed to promote spiritual development by
helping
you build critical relationships with others seeking to grow in Christ.
Many people get the idea that an H.B.C. group is synonymous with Bible
Study, which is not necessarily true. While we feel that the
core
of every H.B.C. meeting should have a spiritual focus, that does not mean
we have to participate in a passive study environment. Facilitators
are
encouraged to create dynamic environments and activities that allow you
to interact with others and explore your faith through mutual
encouragement and support. That may mean instead of a Bible
Study
you may find yourself participating in a local service project, or a
group initiative, or running down to the local doughnut shop to relax
with your group. Growing in the knowledge of Christ is
important, but to do so void of the Body of Christ undermines the
intent of the Church. H.B.C. provides your wing with the
opportunity to take hold of God's design.
