Student Life
General Information
Many students find life in LaGrange a little different from anything they have previously
experienced. It is a small town (about 300 people) situated in the open plains. You will find it to
be a great frontier experience.
As far as recreation goes, you can enjoy disc golf, a paved walking path, and biking. Cross country skiing (downhill skiing is about 2 ½ hours away) and tubing are available in the winter, and fishing, hunting, hiking, and canoeing are available during the fall and spring. We are within driving distance of several national parks.
For those times when you want a taste of the city, Cheyenne, Scottsbluff, and Torrington are a 40-55 minute drive away.
The student handbook has information on such things as dress code, dorm regulations, etc.
Devotional Time
Development of the spiritual life is an integral part of training at Frontier School of the Bible. Classroom instruction will never take the place of a personal time of fellowship with the Lord.
There will be times of planned prayer and fellowship together, and we also encourage spontaneous times of praise and intercession within the student body.
Chapel services are held daily, giving opportunity for expression in praise, song, and sharing. Faculty members, students, missionaries, and pastors present a challenge from the Word.
A missionary conference is held for an entire week during each semester; and a one week-long Special Lecture is conducted by a visiting instructor during each semester.
Student Activities
A practical application of Christian principles is necessary to develop the life and maturity of any student. Therefore, Christian Service will be assigned, involving both individual and group activity. It may be teaching a Sunday School class, giving a testimony, working with children, AWANA participation, singing, leading a song service, evangelism, visitation, preaching, youth ministry, etc. The student will receive credit for acceptable completion of Christian service ministries.
Each year, FSB forms singing/ministering teams of students that travel to local churches to minister in song, the Word, and drama. Each spring, these teams go on a tour ministering in churches in surrounding states.
We are interested in developing school unity, individual responsibility, and Christian character. To help in these areas, each dorm student is asked to do one hour of service each week; Freshmen regularly help in the dining hall.
AMOOK (Advancing Missions On Our Knees) is an organization from the student body formed for the purpose of encouraging interest in missions through prayer, distribution of current missions information, involvement with missionaries, and the sponsorship of special meetings and projects. AMOOK sponsors prayer bands where students can meet regularly to pray for and receive information from special geographic locations. The group also sponsors a missions emphasis night from time to time. In recent years, they sponsored the sending of one or two students overseas for summer missionary projects.
There are a variety of social events planned each semester. Special dinners, theme socials, skating, gym nights, intramurals (including softball, volleyball, basketball and dodgeball), bowling, mini golf and sporting events are just a few of the activities on the social calendar. Also available to students is a Student Center which has a snack shop, game room, movie room and common area.
Student Wives’ Ministries is a women’s ministry program designed to give student wives a
variety of opportunities to serve the school family, while a staff or faculty wife ministers to them
on a personal level. There are Ministries of Encouragement (fellowship groups, prayer chain,
prayer partners, etc.), Ministries of Spiritual Growth (devotionals and Bible studies), and
Ministries of Helps (meals for families with special needs, and help at various functions).
