CORE VALUES
Welcome to Moody Bible Institute! Below you will discover some of the core values that we hold to at Moody Bible Institute.
Valuing Tradition
You are part of a larger story. As your educational partners and spiritual leaders, we want you to play a dynamic role in this story by valuing our tradition. During your time here, you will learn about Moodys heritage and get your opportunity to be a participant. Our goal is to familiarize you with our tradition and invite you to make it your own. Why do we value tradition? We value tradition because it tells us who we are. Tradition is a story or legacy that predates us but shapes our identity. It helps answer fundamental questions about who we are (as a nation, a group, or an individual) and dene our purpose. Tradition connects us with our roots and provides meaning, order, and mission.
Our mission is to serve as a catalyst for students to become complete in Christ (Col. 1:2829) and to encourage them to become growing and complementary members of the body of Christ (Eph. 4:1516). It is to this end that we care for students and help them to grow in every aspect of their lives. We desire to see students reach their full potential and take hold of the gifts that the Lord has given them. Our goal is that students would leave Moody as whole individuals who love the Lord, love others, and serve for the advancement of the Kingdom. Our relationships are sacred because we reect Gods image. We must honor each other by showing respect, shaping each others character, speaking the truth in love, and exercising mutual submission and encouragement. As an institution, we desire to live and grow together in a safe environment. We provide this experience so that you can learn communal practices such as vulnerability, healthy boundaries, and mutual accountability.
Loving Leadership
As an integral part of the Student Services Division, the sta of Student Development serve as co-educators and spiritual leaders who love and lead the student body. We intentionally shape the Moody culture so that students mature in Christ. We attempt to lead students through life-giving relationships that add value, deepen character, and encourage development in each student. Our residence hall program is intended to provide a training ground for leadership and ministry because we believe in students potential as ministers and leaders. We seek to serve students with love and respect, not fear and control. This redeeming, relational love is the context in which we strive to maintain rules and exercise discipline.
Holistic Formation
Successful growth as a student at Moody means maturing in Christ. We are intentional about helping you incorporate your spiritual growth with your academic, physical, and social growth. You will have many opportunities to apply your Moody learning in conversation, Scripture study, hospitality, practical ministry, creativity, and worship. We desire to see our students incorporate God into even the mundane areas of life. Students can expect to be challenged spiritually, emotionally, and relationally at Moody. We want to assist students in any way we can to integrate what is learned in the classroom or chapel into their lives. We believe the choices that students make about the way they spend their time is part of maturing in Christ, and our hope is that our students would see how Christ can be gloried in all that they do and say and how the information they learn in the classroom can be applied in their everyday lives.
COMMUNITY STANDARDS
In addition to the acquisition of knowledge, an integral part of your personal development at Moody will be the maturation of your values and lifestyle, with Scripture as a foundation. In an eort to provide a community that is pleasing to God, the following principles are presented as guidelines for both attitude and behavior. While not every life situation is specically mentioned, these principles generally address most circumstances and can be applied to the daily decision-making process. As we allow our lives to be governed by such principles, our community will become more nurturing and God-honoring. Faculty, students, and sta are committed as a community to maintaining an atmosphere that reects our life in Christ and ultimately gives Him honor and glory. The sta of Student Development realize that it is impossible to create behavioral standards acceptable to every member. We feel it is essential to specify certain rules and patterns of behavior to ensure that this desirable environment exists. The following considerations are used as the basis of Moodys standards.
Chapel
The chapel program is an important part of the educational experience at Moody. Chapels enhance Christian life and character by encouraging the discipline of corporate worship and addressing issues related to Christian living. Chapels also serve as a strategic time for building community on campus. Chapels are usually held in Torrey-Gray Auditorium Tuesdays through Thursdays at 10:00 a.m., except on holidays and during nal examinations listed in the school calendar. All students are permitted eight absences from chapel per semester. There are chapels on Fridays which are typically optional. Various student groups lead these chapels.
Missions Conference and Founders Week

The annual Missions Conference held in October is a four-day event where students learn about missions organizations worldwide. Founders Week is an annual Bible conference that provides students with the opportunity to hear outstanding Bible teachers and preachers. All regular classes are canceled during these conferences, and students are required to attend conference sessions. Students should not make any commitments that could prevent them from attending any required session of these two conferences.
Entertainment
Members of the Moody community are expected to use discernment in making choices concerning music, drama, dance, comedy, literature, television, movies, video games, and the Internet, as our choices and decisions aect not only ourselves but those around us. Understanding that a wide variety of opinions exist within the Christian community regarding the many forms of entertainment and desiring to strike a balance between these views and provide an atmosphere best suited for students development, we have chosen to prohibit certain forms of entertainment. Students are to refrain from gambling, viewing obscene or pornographic material, and patronizing pubs, bars, night clubs, dance clubs, comedy clubs, and similar establishments. There will be no on- or o-campus dances sponsored or organized by Moody Bible Institute students or personnel. Members of the community are to refrain from the use of tobacco in any form, alcoholic beverages, and illegal drugs. Under no circumstances are the above to be used, possessed, or distributed on or away from campus during a students tenure. In addition, students are not to abuse legal or prescribed substances.
Student Life Guide (SLG) and Agreement

The SLG contains important information pertaining to Moody life. It is the responsibility of the student to be thoroughly familiar with its standards and procedures. If you have any questions concerning the interpretation and application of these guidelines, contact the Student Development department at 312-329-4190. A thorough reading and understanding of the SLG is required each year while in attendance. Students are required to read the online SLG and sign the electronic agreement that follows. Log in to my.moody.edu. Select Main Menu from the left-hand corner of the Student tab, scroll to Student Forms, and select Student Life Guide and Agreement. Signing the form will be due two weeks after your arrival. You will receive more reminders about this via the Moodycaster at http:// www.moody.edu/undergraduate/studev/mcaster/ moodycaster.php when you arrive on campus.
DRESS CODE
At Moody we expect our students to dress neatly, modestly, and appropriately for the occasion. Modesty and appropriateness should govern the choice of clothing worn in every situationin the classroom, at church, o campus, at the beach, or for athletic competition.
