At Appalachian Bible College we believe that biblical principles should regulate our behavior. We are responsible to glorify God in our being and in our actions. We are committed to a personal lifestyle that reflects a godly testimony before both
believers and unbelievers. We feel strongly about graduating students of Christian character and a sensitive servant’s heart.
Our student handbook, The Servant’s Staff, sets forth rules and guidelines that we believe will help us in this endeavor (available online at www.abc.edu). Some of these rules reflect our biblical convictions; others reflect institutional preferences. We believe abiding by these guidelines will enhance your personal Christian growth, as well as the testimony of the College.
By signing this lifestyle commitment, you are agreeing to abide by The Servant’s Staff while enrolled. Specifically, you are committing to abstain from the use of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and non-medical drugs; immoral behavior, unethical conduct, social dancing, gambling and membership in secret societies; and viewing of/listening to unwholesome music, films and programs, including attendance at movie theaters.
If married, your signature also indicates acceptance of responsibility that your
family (those who live in your household) will also abide by this Lifestyle Commitment.
I have read and agree to abide by the Lifestyle Commitment required of all students of Appalachian Bible College.
