Community Service Information

The purpose of a community service project is to help those who are in need in our community through practical applications. The Bible instructs us not to “love in word or talk but in deed and in truth” (1Jn.3:18). Serving our community in a selfless manner for the good and betterment of others is a key part of the Christian education we seek to promote at CCJHS. Ultimately, community service is a chance for students to demonstrate the love of God for others by giving sacrificially of their time and/or resources.

Requirements
