Worship is the spiritual center of seminary life, and Reformed University is dedicated to training Christian leaders whose lives reflect the conviction that both individual and corporate prayer is essential in the pursuit of God’s purposes for holy living and fruitful ministry. During each academic term, Reformed University offers noncredit courses of worship service (INS101 through INS112) to provide the university community with opportunities for worship and spiritual enrichment. 

The students of theological studies are required to register and attend these worship courses each semester, on a pass/fail grading system, and as part of the requirements for completion of a degree program, all students must pass all required Chapel courses to be eligible for graduation.

The SA responds to the concerns of the student community, with the understanding that all university activities consist of three major groups of participants: faculty, administration, and students. The association coordinates the activities of Reformed University students as the elected student governing body. The whole student body, through due process, as outlined in the student handbook and in the Constitution of SA, elects officers and members of the Student Association. Its primary functions are to initiate discussion and make decisions concerning student wellbeing and learning environments, coordinate prescheduled and approved student activities throughout the academic year, improve the educational environment of the University, and aid students with the various hardships and difficulties that may arise during the pursuit of their academic goals. The Association helps students to be active in serving the community and to participate in the University programs, provides information regarding student welfare, and acts as a mediator between the University administration and the student body.

Constitution Day is September 17th of each year and was enacted in 2004 as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, Public Law 108-447. The law requires that educational institutions which receive federal funds offer educational programs relative to the United States Constitution on September 17 or each year.

The purpose of Constitution Day is to encourage increased education for the American people relative to its citizenship, civics, and the United States Constitution. Government Officials and all citizens are also urged to display American on this day.

The United States Constitution is one of the most influential legal documents in existence. Since its creation over some two hundred years ago, over one hundred countries around the world have used it as a model for their own laws.

This living document is one of the world’s oldest surviving constitutions. While the Supreme Court continually interprets the Constitution to reflect a rapidly changing world, its basic tenets have remained virtually unchanged and unchallenged since its inception.

People quarrel over interpretation but never do they question the wisdom of its underlying principles. Imagine creating a document that governs your children’s children and their children’s children! That is what the men of the 1787 Constitutional convention accomplished.

For this very reason, great people have spent their lives studying and interpreting the Constitution. Please visit the website at www.ConstitutionFacts.com for more information! You will get a greater sense of the Constitution and how a document that was written over 200 years ago still plays an integral role in our everyday lives.
