Setting Apart Sundays

Day 28 of the 31 for 21 Challenge

At Shepherds College, we encourage our students to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We provide many opportunities for spiritual growth, including weekly church attendance.

Church attendance is important for many reasons. 

~It is an act of obedience to God to keep the Sabbath Day holy.
~We are called to worship Him, to give Him thanks and praise in all things.
~It is necessary to be a part of a group of people who are trying to live out the Gospel just as we are as individuals. We support each other as Christians.
~It’s good to hear the Word of God from others, and not just depend on our own understanding.
~And, at Shepherds College, our students need to become a part of an accepting community that includes people of all abilities.

Starting at 8:00 AM every Sunday, our Residential Life staff loads up our vans and shuttle buses, and heads to four local churches.

These churches want and welcome our students into their congregations. They have an understanding that by including people with disabilities in their services, Sunday school classes, choirs and events, they will foster personal growth, deepen their worship experience and enrich their spiritual lives.

In the near future, I’ll be writing about each church and the student’s experiences in being a part of their congregations. Today, I’d just like to give you a list of the churches with a link to their websites. If you’re so inclined, as part of Pastor Appreciation Month, please send them each an email to thank them for playing an important role in the lives of our students.
