Word of Life Bible Institute

Word of Life Bible Institute is a strict Fundie School system operating three different campuses (Hudson, Florida, Pottersville, New York, as well as one in Canada). Like many Fundie Schools, they believe in Young Earth Creationism.

Chapel/Spiritual Life

 * Chapel services are held three times a week (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday). Student attendance is required.
 * Students are also required to take notes during chapel
 * Sunday church attendance is required.
 * Dorm devotions are required events that take place nightly Monday thru Thursday.
 * "Quiet Time" is set daily on campus.
 * "Quiet Time" diaries must be filled out by each student and are checked by Residential Assistants periodically.
 * Mandatory conferences are held throughout the year.

Entertainment

 * Before viewing any movie, listening to any music, or playing any video game, students must attend a seminar that most likely goes over the "dangers" of movie watching.
 * Any movie, song, or video game must be approved by the Dean.

One Demerit Violations

 * Dress code infraction
 * Not paying attention during a conference

Five Demerit Violations

 * Five demerits can be received for more serious violations, such as:
 * Missing curfew beyond 30 minutes
 * Skipping a required event

Work Hours

 * Work hours are received for every five (5) demerits.

Campusing

 * If a student is campused they are not allowed to leave grounds without prior permission.
 * Meals are limited to 30 minutes

Fire Drills
Word of Life Bible Institute's fire drill policies are very questionable and even come across as racist and sexist.
 * All men and women of North and South America must assemble at the Council Hall.
 * Any woman not from North or South America must assemble at the Field House.
 * The two bullet points above also apply for ACTUAL FIRES.
 * If fires or fire drills happen during class time, different students go to different locations based on status as well.
 * Freshmen and 1st-year-students go to the J.W.C. Parking Lot
 * All others go to the Council Hall Parking Lot.
