Students are required to park in non-designated parking spaces only. Students are not permitted to park in handicapped spaces (unless proper credentials are displayed), red fire lanes, yellow loading zones or spaces otherwise designated for a specific use (including RE or Facilities parking). If your vehicle is parked in a location it should not be, there will be a citation issued and you will be notified by email about fines added to your student account. Vehicle registration is done during welcome week as well as throughout the academic year in Student Life. You will need to provide proof of current vehicle insurance, license plate number, color make and model of your vehicle when registering. If you change vehicles during the year, it is the students responsibility to update all the registration information with Student Life.
SpIRITUAL LIFE
Spiritual Formation and Community Life is more than a program. It is a way of living! Our Spiritual Formation programs are designed to cultivate an environment for spiritual growth on our campus. The primary way we promote this is through regularly scheduled chapels each week. Spiritual Formation also oversees small groups and coordinates with departments for missions opportunities.
Small Groups
Bible studies, discipleship groups and student led ministries are also available at various times throughout the week and at various locations on campus. Small group ministries are a place where students can connect and grow as they learn how to follow God together.
CHApEL
Global Outreach
Students have the opportunity to travel to various foreign countries to experience learning and life in a different culture, to do onsite studies, research, or work alongside missionaries as they minister to their communities. We are tentatively planning trips to Turkey, Macau (China), Indonesia, and Peru.
Chapel
Tabor College holds chapel weekly on Mondays and Wednesdays where staff, faculty and students come together to worship, hear God’s Word and connect to one another.
Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible, is a beautifully structured acrostic poem that highlights the significance of God's Word. Divided into 22 sections, each corresponding to a letter of the Hebrew alphabet, this psalm follows a pattern in which every verse within a section begins with the same Hebrew letter. This poetic design encourages meditation and memorization, reinforcing the theme of steadfast devotion to God’s truth. The psalmist expresses a deep love for God's commands, discovering strength, guidance, and stability in His statutes amid life’s storms. This structure and message serve as a powerful reminder that God's Word is not only
authoritative but also life-giving, shaping believers to stand firm in their faith.
Throughout its 176 verses, Psalm 119 repeatedly highlights the unshakable foundation of Scripture, resonating with the theme of "Unshaken: Standing Firm in God’s Word." God's Word remains our solid rock in a world filled with uncertainty, changing values, and personal challenges. Unshaken urges us to root our lives in Scripture, allowing its truths to steady us amid life’s storms.
Throughout this year-long journey in Psalm 119, we will delve into how God’s Word provides clarity, endurance, hope, and unwavering faith in the face of trials.
