Foundations: As a Christian academic institution, Providence Hall is committed to nurturing the life of the spirit both in and out of the classroom as well as to developing the life of the mind. The Foundations of the Christian Faith course provides a rich education in the beliefs, history, and current state of the Christian church worldwide. Our students and their families represent more than 25 different churches and faith backgrounds. The three-year rotating Foundations curriculum teaches biblical truths at the core of our rich Christian heritage.
Student-Led Worship: A weekly student-led chapel program encourages the development of worship as a regular practice. Providence Hall students have the opportunity to participate in leading corporate worship through scripture reading, teaching, and participation in the worship band.
Mission Trips: Cross-cultural experiences and serving the underserved in local communities are life-influencing opportunities for Providence Hall students. Many students participate in mission trips through local churches and ministries on an individual basis. Providence Hall anticipates offering an annual school-sponsored mission trip beginning in the 2012-2013 academic year, which will be open to all students and led by Providence Hall faculty.
Bible Studies: Student-led Bible Studies have developed organically at Providence Hall as upperclassmen feel called to lead peers in prayer, Bible study, and small group discussion. Students also meet frequently to pray for each other, their school, the community, and the world, often in the hour prior to the start of the school day.
All-School Retreat: An overnight retreat in the fall is an annual highlight for students and faculty alike. Teaching, worship, community building, and welcoming new students combine with hours of recreation and games to create a memorable start to the academic year.
Teacher/Student Mentorships: Providence Hall teachers invest in students’ lives both in and out of the classroom. Whether leading elective field trips, hosting movie nights, organizing small group Bible studies, or coaching athletes on sports teams, our faculty are examples of how Christian educators look beyond the walls of the classroom to encourage and guide students in their daily lives.
