Chaplaincy
Chapels
Chapels are held twice a week. On Tuesdays, Students and Staff meet for Chapel whereas on Thursdays they attend small group bible study. The attendance is required of both staff and students. It is an essential part of their regular weekly schedule and includes a variety of worship styles, musical programmes, bible studies, speakers, and drama. Chapel is the one activity in which the entire community gathers together for worship and fellowship on a regular basis.
All staff and students of Daystar University are individually expected to be members of a church in which they worship and fellowship regularly. As a vital part of spiritual growth, they are also encouraged to serve the Lord in an active way through the programmes of their respective churches. In addition, the Daystar Christian Fellowship (DCF), sends out numerous student ministry teams to reach out beyond the campuses with evangelistic outreaches, ministry among street children, and many other ministry opportunities. In addition to the above, the University organises weekly spiritual activities as given here below:
Small Groups
The Chaplaincy organises small groups to which every staff and student is assigned. The small groups meet once a week for prayer and Bible study. The main goal of the small group meetings is to provide a forum for spiritual growth.
Counselling
The University Chaplain, the Assistant Chaplains, the Student Counsellors and other staff and faculty, are available to counsel students in such areas as adjustment to life at DaystarUniversity, spiritual development, resolving personal problems, and making major life decisions.
In addition a large number of students have been trained as peer counsellors. As a Christian community, the Bible requires us to be our brother?s keeper. Therefore, every member of the Daystar University Community is expected to be sensitive to the needs of others around them.
Daystar Christian Fellowship (DCF)
Daystar Christian Fellowship (DCF) is a student-led group under the University Chaplaincy. The group has about 14 subcommittees where students develop their talents and nourish their faith through various activities e.g. singing, dancing, drama, missions among others. |
