SPIRITUAL LIFE

 

The prime aim of Kapsabet Bible College is to prepare men and women with a consistent Christian life for the ministry with in the church. As Christians we ought to be constantly growing more spiritually, mature and so several provisions are made in the student timetable for the nurturing of spiritual growth

                                           

1. QUITE TIME

 

From 6:30-7:00AM each morning and 9:45-10:00 PM, silence should be observed so that each student may have time for the personal reading of God’s word and prayer. Disturbance of others is to be avoided. Classroom and dormitories may be used.

 

2. MORNING CHAPEL

All students are to attend chapel unless ill in bed, the staff member on duty will responsible for leading the chapel on Tuesday-Thursday, while the 4th year will be responsible for the Friday. Exception: third years will preach on Fridays, when the fourth years have term out. The purpose of this time is to join together in the worship of God in singing and prayer, as well as receives instruction from God’s word. Please be ON TIME.

 

3. EVENING DEVOTION

 

The men and ladies meet separately from 7:00-7:00 PM each evening from Monday to Friday. The Assistant Head Student and ladies’ Dormitory Prefect are responsible for each evening’s speaker. On Saturday and Sunday evening time and format are a bit different.

 

4. FELLOWSHIP GROUP

 

Every Tuesday afternoon from 2:55-3:45 PM, the students are divided into groups. Each student is assigned a prayer Group with a staff member and the time is spent in prayer and fellowship. The purpose of such a time is:

• To get to know each other well.

• To share and pray for each other’s problems and needs.

• To pray for practical work assignments.

• To pray for graduates.

• To pray for K.B.C. and its needs.

 

5. PRAYER DAY

 

Prayer day is usually 3 weeks after beginning of the term. Classes and other activities are suspended so that staff and students may engage in one day prayer each term. The afternoon ends with a communion service.

 

6. SUNDAY CHURCH SERVICE

 

All students are expected to attend the regular morning services at the church they have been assigned. If a student is not assigned to a church, but to the hospital or a high school, then he ought to attend a local church. Each student is encouraged to participate in the life of the local church as much as possible.

 

PERSONAL APPEARANCE

 

We can display our Christianity by the way care and we dress for ourselves.  Someone has said: “Cleanliness is next to Godliness “.  The following points will help you in your personal appearance.

 

1. Personal cleanliness will include clean and short finger nails clean hair, and clean teeth.  The entire student body should radiate cleanliness.  Men should be clean-shaven and have well-trimmed and combed hair.

 

1. The student’s clothing should be clean and ironed and in good repair.  Every student should dress modestly.  Do not wear clothes, which are so tight or in case of ladies, too short.  Ladies’ dress should not be above the knee.  No shorts or slippers are allowed in the classrooms.  Boots are allowed in the classrooms only when it rains.

 

In II Timothy 2:21, we read that we should be “An instrument for noble purposes,  made holy, useful to the master and prepared to do any good work.”

 

DORMITORY LIFE

 

A student’s life here will be spent in the dormitory.  Therefore, it is necessary that harmony exists between you and others in that setting.  For this to take place we have set up the following points:

 

• PREFECTS: The student body will elect A Dormitory prefect and Assistant Dormitory Prefect and the work of prefect will be to post dormitory assignments and to keep things running smoothly.He has to see that the dormitory rules are observed and serious matters must be reported to the Dean of students.The Head Girls and Assistant will look after the ladies: Dorms.

 

• USE OF RADIOS, TV AND TAPE PLAYERS: Radios and tape players should be kept at reasonable Level of volume and in no case programs that will be consistent with a Christian testimony.  They must not be used in the library or in classrooms.  Radios may be used in the dinning room, during lunch Hour, for listening to news only- no music programs during this time.

 

• DORMITORY CLEALINESS: The rooms must be swept each day and the beds must be made.  Every Saturday, the floor should be washed to keep clean.  Trash must not be thrown outside the buildings.  But should be put in the rubbish cans

 

DISCIPLINE

 

It is our desire at Kapsabet Bible College to see all the students develop good Christian Conduct.  The following points are set forth to help students reach these goals.

1. Every student is expected to maintain the best Christian testimony while in and out of Kapsabet Bible college

2. The use of tobacco, any kind of alcoholic drink, gambling illegal drugs ( miraa and Bhangh etc ) cinema ( worldly movies and dancing is forbidden.  In I John 2 we are told not to be worldly.

3. The students are expected to be very careful during social times when they are with the opposite sex.  Any circumstance, which might appear questionable, should be avoid.  Students can have a social time in the Dinning Hall between 6:30 PM and 7.00 Pm each day.  Since many visitors come on campus, we may get complaints if they see couples together under trees, around buildings and lying on the grass.  We want to maintain a good testimony on the campus.  Couples should not be seen together in a room, alone, at any time.

4. Before a student becomes engaged he should check with the staff first.  The school does not encourage students to get married while in school.  If a student feels he wants to get married while in school, the school may ask him to leave for one year.

5. The school expects evidence of maturing Christian character, an attitude of concern for others, and a willingness to submit to the spiritual authority of Christian leaders.

6. Each student is expected to make the best use of time.  This should discipline itself in his study habits, participation in spiritual activities, faithful attendance in church and the discerning use of TV radio, and the printed page.

7. Each student is to avoid every form of dishonesty, including falsehoods, cheating on exams or assignments, and failure to meet financial obligations promptly.

8. By virtue of the student’s enrollment, you agree to live within the framework of these standards.

9. The staff will discuss the breaking of any of the above points of conduct.  The breaking of any of  these may result in one or more of these:

 

• Being restricted to the campus for some time

• Being suspended for some time

• Being dismissed from the school

 

These regulations are made because no institution can run smoothly without them. We thank the Lord for the excellent library we have.  Students are use to make full use of this learning resource while at the school.  The Kapsabet Bible College Library is intended as a place where students can make use of the books and magazine provided, in order to do research, either for school assignments or personal profit.
