Our core values guide everything we do here at Tabor College. First and foremost, we are a CHRIST-CENTERED institution of higher learning.

Since Tabor's purpose is to promote LEARNING, all we do and all we learn is filtered through the lens of Christ. We believe that He guides our lives, gives us all knowledge and wisdom, and equips us to live out the calling He places on us.

While you’re here, we hope you make it a priority to get INVOLVED because we believe that being engaged and involved increases learning. We value the COMMUNITY that is created here and believe that the friends you make during your time at Tabor College could impact you for the rest of your life. Through engaging in community life here, we hope that Jesus will begin to transform your heart and mind so that you will think of others' needs and learn to SERVE others around you.

This Bluejay Resource Guide will be your roadmap during this upcoming school year. It is packed with information to ensure you are prepared for a wonderful year. The information within this Resource Guide will help answer questions, give you important dates, and highlight the many ways you can get involved in the 2025-2026 year. However, the people employed at Tabor are your most significant assets to your success. Whether it is our student life team, coaches, faculty, or staff, we are all here to help make your college experience the very best it can be.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Tabor College’s Career Services department offers a variety of services for students.

Our desire is to help students find careers where they can use their God given talents to glorify God. Through collaboration with community partners, employers, alumni, and faculty, we offer Tabor students the opportunities to develop skills that will set them up for success in their chosen careers. We will help students:

2. Get to know your professors and allow them to get to know you as well.

Once you fill in your career interests, you’ll get personalized recommendations for jobs and events and direct outreach from employers interested in students like you.

TC 101 & 310

Freshmen in TC 101 learn a variety of skills that include time management, schedule preparation, and budget planning.

Both courses include academic major exploration, where students have the opportunity to meet with department advisors to find a career path that works for them.

1. Attend your classes.

3. Find a way that works best for you to stay organized...a planner, phone calendar, to do list. As long as it works for you, that's all that matters!

4. Support your peers in their extracurricular activities. Nearly all of our students are involved in something on campus whether it is athletics, fine arts, Student Senate, and so much more.

PARKING

Tabor provides free parking here on campus for student vehicles that have both registered and display a current Tabor parking decal. 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.

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.

CHAPEL 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 14

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.

CHRIST-CENTERED The primary value for all Bluejays is centering themselves on Christ. Everything that is done, flows from it. LEARNING Bluejays learn inside and outside of the classroom and grow as broadly educated, competent and well-rounded learners who embrace the joy of learning. COMMUNITY Bluejays support and hold each other accountable so that all feel like they belong. INVOLVEMENT Bluejays participate in and outside of the classroom. SERVICE Serving is at the heart of a Christ-centered education. Bluejays care for others in all that we do.
