Christian Service Program
“Make love your greatest aim.”  1 Cor.14.1

Service learning is a teaching strategy that integrates community service with instruction and reflection to enrich learning experiences, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities. Service learning offers all of its participants a chance to take part in learning while simultaneously addressing the concerns, needs, and hopes of their communities.
