Spiritual Formation “…is the biblically guided process in which people are being transformed into the likeness of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit within the faith community in order to love and serve God and others” (CCCU, 2010, p. 13). Spiritual Formation is a fundamental part of academic life at Pillar College, and is one of the primary vehicles through which we prepare students for scholarship, service, and leadership. As a College, rooted in Christian faith and love, we believe that spirituality is not peripheral to intellectual growth, but is a foundational aspect of our curricula and essentially contributes to the holistic development of our students. Thus, creating an environment that fosters spiritual formation is integral to the mission of Pillar College.
Nishanth Thomas serves as the Dean of Student Engagement at Pillar. He can be contacted for information regarding Chapels, Student Activities, Student Body Referral Resources, Spiritual Advisement, and Pastoral Counseling.
Pillar College is committed to an educational philosophy that emphasizes the integration of learning into the Christian worldview. Student Chapel reflects this philosophy in that it incorporates a teaching component along with student-led worship. Chapels include Pillar staff, faculty, alumni, and occasionally friends of Pillar College. Student Chapels are a critical part of academic life and students are strongly encouraged to attend chapel services.
Chapels are planned and conducted by the Student Government Association in conjunction with the Dean of Student Engagement.
As a worshiping community, we cherish the opportunity to encounter the presence of God and fellowship with other students, staff, and faculty.
At Chapel, students receive strength, inspiration, encouragement, and insight from the messages focused on empowering students to be positive change agents, and inspire them to intellectual and spiritual growth.
