This course gives students the knowledge and resources to hold leadership positions in school, church, and community. While some students may not see themselves as natural leaders, this course shows the methods ordinary people use to bring forth the best in themselves and others. Students are trained in the principles of leadership in an environment where they can serve others on campus  such that they feel like an important part of the VCHS community.  Specifically, this course offers leadership growth practice in service towards different groups including our freshmen, our international students and our REACH program students.  Biblical principles guide the motivation and the leadership lessons such that students understand and live out God’s desire to notice and take action on behalf of their neighbors.

Additional Expectations:  To receive the 15 hours of community service available in this course, students are required to participate in a minimum number of optional “events”.  There are a variety of events (both ongoing and one-time events) throughout the year so students have some option as to which events work best for their schedules.  If this requirement is not met, students do not receive the 15 hours. Please note VCHS requires a minimum of 10 hours of community service to be completed with a Christian church each year.

Special Note: This course is a Bible department service 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.
