Ministry

Campus Ministries Council

Campus Ministries Council (CMC) directs and coordinates the efforts of student ministries at Tabor. The council consists of four executive positions, Campus Pastor Ryan Lee as the advisor, and one representative from each of the following ministries:

  • Share, Prayer, and Dare (SP&D) — provides a contemporary worship experience in order that the student body might encounter God and each other each Wednesday night.
  • Men’s and Women’s Mentoring —  The Tabor Mentoring Program connects Tabor students with members of the Hillsboro community in mentoring relationships. The organization aspires to establish relationships of depth and build students of character.
  • Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) — exists to reach out to all facets of Tabor College and draw our peers closer to Jesus Christ by exemplifying Christian fellowship through activities and lessons.
  • Various Bible Studies — available and open to interested students. Contact Campus Pastor Ryan Lee to learn how to become involved. Each RA offers a weekly Bible study to students in their residence hall.
  • Challenging, Helping, and Understanding Kids through Mentorship (CHUMS)– Aspires to make a difference in the lives of at-risk students by supporting them through the love of Jesus Christ by building tutoring & mentoring relationships. CHUMS has been impacting Hillsboro school district students for more than 20 years.  We have seen students grow from CHUMS children to CHUMS mentors as Tabor students.  Lives are impacted practically through weekly tutoring, & they are influenced positively through continually developed relationships. CHUMS mentors have the chance to invest in children, connect in the Hillsboro community, & gain experience in the school setting.  By serving CHUMS children, mentors are also blessed.

Student Government

  • Student Activities Board (SAB) – Responsible to plan, under the direction of the Student Senate, social events for the year, including banquets and recreational activities. The group’s objectives are to present creative entertainment that enhances the college experience, promotes community among Tabor students, and provides a sense of Tabor spirit and pride.
  • Student Senate – Student Senate’s role in institutional decision-making is highly significant as it represents and forms students’ opinions.
