Jewel House
Jewel House is located in Ford Village and houses 32 freshman females and 8 upperclassman mentors. The purpose of Jewel House is to encourage and support each other to become the virtuous women God has called you to be. This will be accomplished through focusing on living a disciplined life with your time, your studies, your walk with the Lord, your relationships, and your physical health and well-being.
Through Jewel House, you will:
- Encounter academic experiences infused with residential, spiritual, and social life. (Romans 12:2)
- Participate in interactive discussions, activities, and programs developed around four areas of personal development: intellectual, spiritual, social, and physical. (Luke 2:52)
- Journey through a specially designed discipleship-based mentoring program, guided by a mature student spiritual leader. (Matthew 28:19)
