PASTORAL CARE
We provide a ministry of Pastoral Care Services to the university community.
We embark on intensive counseling services to both the students and the
faculty staff in collaboration with the Department of Student Affairs and the
College of Human Development.
This is done at three levels:
- individual counseling
- peer counseling and
- group counseling.
The department also ministers to the welfare needs of the students by
providing them with little funds from the Chaplaincy Account to take care of
basic needs like feeding, medical bills, handouts, transport fares back home,
etc.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
We organize community educational programs and services such as workshops,
lectures, primary health care programs, etc. to promote both spiritual and
physical development of the community.
We conduct regular Chapel Service programs for spiritual nourishment and
impartation of spiritual gifts.
We also take all new converts through our Campus Believers Foundation Classes
(CBFC) where they are taught the basic Christian doctrines, baptized in water
and filled with the Holy Ghost.
The Chaplaincy organizes Bible Studies\Cell Fellowship Program for all the
students to give them a good grip of biblical facts about life and living in
order to live a practical life of victory and triumph.
MENTORING & MONITORING
Act as a regulatory body for all religious activities on the campus to avoid
the proliferation of unhealthy groups that might work contrary to the vision and
mission of Covenant University. All intending associations must first apply in
writing to the Chaplaincy for registration, stating clearly their aims and
objectives and the conditions for membership.
We are also involved in mentoring for and monitoring the development of
acceptable, Christian, godly characters, as the students are guided towards the
fulfillment of their respective destinies.
We also monitor closely students attendance at the various university
functions particularly at the Chapel Services including Sunday Worship Services.
Each student comes to the service with a Bible and a chapel notebook.
The department guides and directs the general spiritual life on the campus to
line up with scriptural standards.
KINGDOM SERVICE & COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The scripture says we are the light of the world and the salt of the earth
(Math. 5:13,14). The Chaplaincy develops and organizes motivational programs
towards kingdom and community services. This is done through the various Chapel
Service Units such as the Choir, Prayer and Intercessory group, hospitality
unit, etc.
We encourage and organize continuous campus evangelization using the matured
Christians among the students. They witness Christ to groups and to individuals.
Project One Million Soul
This project affords the students the opportunity to reach out to the less
privileged in the society. Every weekend, our students go out to visit children
in the Orphanage, Remand Homes, Prisons etc to share food and clothing and
fellowship with them. They also organize party for them during special national
festivals such as Easter time and Christmas season. |
