This yearlong course is designed for students to learn and develop leadership skills and a servant mentality as they minister to our local public elementary schools. Components of study include the study of childhood development; teaching skills such as the development of the unit, lesson plans, and class management; biblical prayer and evangelism; and a study of historic Christian revivals and missions. Students will have the opportunity all year to practically apply their learning as they plan and lead lessons and activities at local elementary schools, tutor elementary students, and plan and lead a kid's Bible club.

Additional Expectations:  There is a fee for a uniform, which includes a sweatshirt and t-shirt that students wear on days they leave campus during their class period. You will receive non-church community service hours for attendance and participation in this course.  Please note VCHS requires a minimum of 10 hours of community service to be completed with a Christian church each year which must be completed outside of VCHS.

Special Note:  This course is a Bible department Service Learning Course.  Students will need to take one Philosophy of Religion/World Religions course and one service course before graduation.  Students are placed in different service courses after completing a feedback form that helps determine the best fit for their unique service experience.  Please refer to the Bible department map tab for more information.
