BIOLA SPIRITUAL LIFE CONFERENCES SECTION 2.5<br />
BIOLA SPIRITUAL LIFE CONFERENCES<br />
Each year <strong>Biola</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers special conferences to encourage personal spiritual growth and<br />
commitment to ministries <strong>of</strong> the church and school. During each semester there is one day that is set<br />
aside as a day <strong>of</strong> prayer and there are numerous activities scheduled during that day to encourage<br />
group and personal prayer.<br />
In the fall semester each year, the Torrey (undergraduate) and Lyman Stewart (graduate) Bible<br />
Conferences are scheduled for a period <strong>of</strong> three days at approximately mid-semester. The <strong>University</strong><br />
invites to campus gifted Bible teachers who present a special series <strong>of</strong> messages during the<br />
conferences. Classes are dismissed during the Torrey Conference, and students are encouraged to<br />
attend as many sessions as possible.<br />
During the Spring semester <strong>of</strong> each year, the <strong>University</strong> Student Missionary Union (SMU)<br />
schedules an annual Missions Conference which runs for three days, during which classes are<br />
suspended. Special speakers are invited to campus as well as representatives from various mission<br />
agencies. The conference provides opportunities for SICS graduate and undergraduate students to<br />
discuss career opportunities with representatives <strong>of</strong> various mission agencies. For those who are<br />
already field workers, it is a time to renew acquaintances and make new ones, as well as hear top<br />
speakers who update the campus on the current pulse <strong>of</strong> missions.<br />
