This course is designed for students to practice leadership skills and a servant mentality as they connect VCHS with opportunities to serve in the community.  While students study the concept of God’s kingdom and God’s design for the role of humanity in the earth, they create real life opportunities for both themselves and others on their campus to live out the concepts of mission, giving, service, and compassion.  Students will also consider the difference in perspective between good works without God, good works for God, and good works with God. 

Additional Expectations: Students will be required to participate in one day long service trip per semester as part of this course. This trip will occur during the regular school day which may require missing one or two other classes during that travel day. All service classes provide the minimum of 15 community service hours.  For this course, students are required to complete each step in their service project to receive credit for the 15 community service 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.
