Small Groups are offered to encourage community building among organizations, departments and other groups as they take advantage of small group dynamics in worship and Bible study.
Small Groups are not times for meetings, work on class projects or homework, planning, or preparation. The chapel time, rather, is designated as a time of worship, prayer, praise, and Bible study. Groups in need of a time for planning, preparation or class work should find an alternative meeting time, or each member must be willing to not receive Chapel attendance credits.
Guidelines for Small Groups
Each small group must complete an online application at least one week BEFORE the first assembly of the small group. Neglecting to do so may result in the inability to earn attendance credits for this time.
Each small group must have a faculty or staff advisor who will attend and oversee EVERY assembly of the group chapel.
Small groups may assemble weekly, monthly or at other intervals, but no more than once per week.
THURSDAY has been set aside as the campus-wide day for small groups to assemble.
During each assembly, the advisor will record the name and Banner ID number of each student in attendance. The advisor will sign the attendance sheet just below the last student’s name. Finally, the advisor must fax a copy of the attendance list to the Chapel Office (674-6475) by 5:00 PM the day of the small group chapel’s meeting. This fax should be sent from the advisor’s departmental fax machine.
Attendance is not recorded until the signed attendance sheets are received in the Chapel Office. Students will be sent to their advisor for missing sheets.
Make sure you contact the appropriate office to reserve any location you are using.
