Student Ministry Opportunities
Penn View Bible Institute offers a variety of student ministry opportunities, allowing students to actively engage in service, outreach, and leadership roles within the local area.
InterServe: Unless one’s personal spiritual life is channeled into outward witness and service, he will become stagnant. InterServe provides an outlet for students to exercise their spiritual gifts. Students may participate in visitation, nursing home ministry, child evangelism, and cross-cultural ministries. Mutual sharing provides encouragement, prayer support, and insights on difficulties encountered in their ministries.
Nursing Home: Opportunities for students to minister through music, speaking, and personal visitation to a specific age group.
Prayer Station: A Street ministry venue for students to pray with different individuals who stop by a prayer booth.
Children’s Bible Club: Student children’s ministries opportunities within the local church. (Kid’s club, Sunday School classes, Youth activities, etc)
University Evangelism: Student opportunities to witness to, hand out gospel literature, street preach, and spiritually interact with students at a local college or university.
Tract distribution: Student gospel literature distribution in local communities assigned by the ministerial director in conjunction with evangelism classes.
College Choir – The Chapel Choir is composed of members selected by the music faculty through audition. The choir travels throughout the year in school representation. In addition, the choir tours at Christmas and Easter. Anyone anticipating membership in the choir should be prepared to participate in all the scheduled activities.
Praise Singers, Heritage, and Majesty – These groups perform during the school year at functions both on and off campus. They also travel during the summer in school representation. Members are selected by the music faculty through audition.
Vocal Ensembles – In addition to the official representative groups, other small singing groups are organized from time to time on the basis of demand and availability of students. Participation in one of these groups may provide experience for participation in one of the official representative groups.
Instrumental Ensemble – A combination of musicians from various majors, the ensemble performs at major school functions and concerts as well as in area churches. The members are accepted at the discretion of the Director of Music. The repertoire is designed as a learning experience for the performers as well as the appreciation of the audience.
