At Appalachian, our goal is to weave the heart of a servant into the very fiber of each student's being. Jesus came to serve, not to be served. He's our model -- our focus must be on His example. Although this is pretty serious business, we sure do have fun in the process! Students will be quick to tell you that they are not only being challenged and stretched but they're having the time of their lives.

Our student handbook is called the Servant’s Staff. We have chosen this
title because we want
to provide tools and guidelines (a staff) for the growing Christian (repeatedly
in Scripture
called a servant of Jesus Christ and His church). The rules governing student
life are clustered
around certain character qualities because our goal at Appalachian Bible
College is to develop
Christ-like character (Colossians 1:28,29), not merely external conformity
to regulations.
