Our goal is to train leaders who have a heart for reaching out to others and making their world a better place. We want to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
In addition to showing the character of Christ, participating in community service also equips students for their futures.
In preparation for college application and acceptance, students are encouraged to develop a resume, which should include a wide variety of legitimate community service activities, outside of regular church or school-related opportunities. By participating in community service, students are paving the way for the college admissions process and beyond.
Students in grades 9-12 will be required to complete a minimum of 20 hours each school year for a total of 80 hours upon graduation.
