BC KICKS OFF SPRING COFFEEHOUSE SERIES

by | Jan 12, 2012

Bluefield College will launch its Spring Coffeehouse Series with the enchanting and emerging worship music of All Sons and Daughters, Wednesday, January 25.

Open and free to the public, the All Sons and Daughters Coffeehouse will take place in BC’s recently renovated Student Activities Center and Quick Shott Café inside Shott Hall at 7:30 p.m.

The worship duo of David Leonard and Leslie Jordan, now known as All Sons and Daughters, began in the summer of 2009 at Journey Church in Franklin, Tennessee, when the two began writing and performing worship songs together.

Jordan had been leading worship since age 14 in her own church and for churches and conferences across the United States. Leonard had performing with the Jackson Waters band in college before touring on his own with Need to Breathe from 2008 to 2010.

While meeting the music ministry needs of Journey Church, the two became a duo and recorded their first EP, “Brokenness Aside,” as All Sons and Daughters in 2010 — a project that shares the message of God’s restorative love.

“All Sons and Daughters is more than a worship band,” said Jay King, vice president artist development for Integrity Records. “They represent us as people who are still on a journey, and they are creating the soundtrack for that journey.”

Still on staff as worship leaders at Journey Church, Leonard and Jordan are traveling around the country sharing their message and music. They recently performed for The Know Hope Collective, a groundbreaking initiative that combines worship music with stories of hope and inspiration created by Audio Adrenaline alumni Mark Stuart and Will McGinniss.

They will be performing at Bluefield College promoting their second EP, “Reason to Sing,” released in January 2012 and featuring the modern psalm “Buried in the Grave”, co-written with Hillsong’s Mia Fieldes, and “Oh, Our Lord”, a celebration of the God of Creation, penned with Dove Award-winning writer Paul Baloche.

Do I only apply once?

  • No. Students must apply each academic year for the fall semester and submit the necessary documents.

Do I have to take the classes specified in the Associate's Degree tracks as they are listed on the information sheet?

  • No. Students may take any of the courses that are offered in a given term.

Where do I find the textbook listing, and where do I purchase the books?

  • Log in to myBU, and under the "Student" tab, you will find a list of the textbooks required (if any) for each course. Students are responsible for purchasing their own textbooks.

How long is a semester?

  • Our semesters are divided into two 8-week terms.

Is there an orientation?

  • Yes. Students can attend an orientation session that explains how to access courses, how to register for classes, and answers other questions.

Where can I find a course description?

Does the student need to take the SAT or ACT in order to take Dual Enrollment classes?

  • No. If a student decides to study at BU full time, BU is currently test-optional for the 2021-2022 admissions cycle.

Are the classes live? Do students need to log in and participate at certain times?

  • Classes are offered online, so a student can log-on and study at their convenience and their own pace. Students have assignments due each week; you can complete your assignments at any point in time before the deadline.

Does an Early College student need to come to campus for anything?

  • No. However, we would love to have you visit our campus if you are interested in continuing with traditional on-campus study. Students who complete their associate's degree have the option to walk at our commencement ceremony.

Are Early College students able to receive Financial Aid?

  • No. However, Early College courses are very affordable compared to other options. The cost for an online Dual Enrollment course is $100 per credit hour.

How do transferring credits work?

  • Each College or University completes a transcript review in order to decide which courses transfer. Sticking to general education classes generally makes transferring credits simple. All Early College courses at Bluefield University are general education classes that should transfer to another accredited institution.

Is an Early College student considered, and treated, as a transfer student when they become a full-time college student if they have earned enough credits to be a Junior?

  • No. Since they have not graduated from high school, they are considered a first-time college student regardless of how many credits transfer. However, by transferring credits when they enroll as a full-time student, they will have to take fewer classes to receive their bachelor's degree, which shortens the length of time to earn the degree.

Can I speak to someone if I have more questions?

  • Yes. Please contact the Office of Admissions by email or you can call them at 276.326.4231
