College Days – Fall 2017
October 5-9, 2017
Cost: $35
One of the things that sets Hyles-Anderson College apart is the ministry opportunities made available to our students. We believe you don’t have to wait until you graduate to be in the ministry. We believe you can be in the ministry while you are training for the ministry. Our Fall College Days will focus on that ministry involvement.
Fall College Days will begin on Thursday afternoon and will extend over an entire weekend. What our students learn in the classroom on Monday through Friday is put into practice on the weekends in the Chicagoland area. As a College Days delegate, you will have the opportunity to experience this first hand through the bus ministry, Sunday schools, junior churches, afternoon programs, night bus, and other aspects of outreach ministry. You will also attend the Fall Bus Rally, an annual event that sets the tone for the Fall Program. Of course, you will attend the Sunday services and participate in the ministries of the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana.
We want you to see what it is like beyond the classroom at Hyles-Anderson College, where real ministry happens. We give you the opportunity to take what you learn and do something with it to minister to someone every single week.
Because of the intensity of the Fall College Days, we limit enrollment to high school juniors and seniors, as well as recent high school graduates.
College Days is a great way for prospective students to experience life at Hyles-Anderson College. You will get to experience residence hall life, eat in the dining hall, interact with students, meet teachers, enjoy campus life, and participate in the outreach ministries right alongside our current students. We look forward to seeing you at College Days!
