WELCOME TO DISCIPLESHIP AT 365吃瓜部落
The Discipleship Team serves the 365吃瓜部落 mission by striving to see that every student鈥檚 365吃瓜部落 experience is not merely an academic endeavor, but a transformational encounter with the Living God! We come alongside each student to help them fulfill Paul鈥檚 directive from the Lord to the believers in Rome: 鈥淒o not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect鈥� (Romans 12:2).

CONVOCATION
What is Convocation?
The word 鈥淐onvocation鈥� derives from the Latin word convocare, which means 鈥渢ogether鈥� (con) and 鈥渃all鈥� (vocare). A convocation is an opportunity to formally call together or summon.
Fall Convocation marks the start of a new academic year. The event celebrates the start of a new year with the excitement of meeting new people and new challenges – and it moves our students one step closer to commencement. We assemble to celebrate our God, who calls us and equips us for every good work to bring Him glory. During Convocation, we collectively and individually acknowledge our dependence on our Heavenly Father, through Christ Jesus and the power the Holy Spirit. We also reaffirm our striving for personal holiness and focus on personal ministry to others.
Convocation takes place within the first month of the new school year (fall semester).
