From the Dean: We love our students and understand that God meets them here, shaping and molding them into the image of Christ. As dean of students, I count it a great privilege to serve our students as they study, worship, and live together in a campus environment that nurtures a deep faith in Jesus Christ. Four basic biblical principles serve as the foundation of our Student Life Department. We believe that our love for Christ should express itself through holy living, purity in relationships, respect for peers and authority, and good stewardship of resources. I invite you to come to RBC. This is a great place for you not only to begin your college career but also to grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ. RBC has a strong academic program that will prepare you well for the rigor of a four-year university and beyond. In addition to excellent academics, RBC is committed to empowering and equipping you to live out your faith with consistency and maturity so that you glorify God in whatever you do. This student handbook has been developed to help you understand Rosedale Bible College s community standards before you arrive on campus. If you have any questions regarding student life at RBC, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to serving you here. Sincerely, Chris Jones
Chapter 1: Introduction Welcome to the RBC family! You are about to embark on an exciting adventure as you begin your college career with us. The Rosedale Experience is rich with potential in growth, offering opportunities to deepen your faith in Jesus Christ, pursue academic excellence, and develop friendships that will last a lifetime. We, the faculty and staff of RBC, look forward to partnering with you during your time of study on our campus. On one occasion Jesus said, A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" (John 13:34-35). At Rosedale, we are committed to following the path of love in every area of life as we study, worship, and live together as a college family. You will be challenged to live an authentic Christian life that makes a difference in the lives of the people around you. Whether you are called to missions, church planting, homemaking, education, carpentry, business, farming, or any other career, God wants to use you to reach a lost and dying world with the transforming message of Jesus Christ. We have assembled a dedicated faculty and staff who want to help you build a solid foundation so that you achieve the full potential that God has given you. |
