Service

Transformational Learning Opportunities

Our mission is to “Inspire and cultivate citizens of Godly Character who transform their world for Christ.” This transformational aspect is at the heart of all these experiences, whether international or local.

By engaging in these trips, we invite God to transform us on our spiritual journey, and in turn, God can use that transformation to impact both our own communities and the community that we visit.

The hope is that students will reflect on how the trip transformed their hearts, their faith, and their future: Transformational Learning Opportunities (TLO).

Service and Connection

Uganda TLO 2025

In March 2025, twenty students and 3 staff traveled to Uganda for a Transformational Learning Opportunity, hosted by Jeff and Shannon Dyck in partnership with Kuwasha. Highlights included building a mud hut, visiting sponsor children, and engaging deeply with the local community, giving students a powerful glimpse into everyday life in Kibaale.

Building Homes and Hearts

Mazatlán TLO 2025

In March 2025, a team of 20 students and 3 staff partnered with YWAM in Mazatlán, Mexico, where they built a home for a young couple through the Homes of Hope ministry.  Students bonded across grades, learned new hands-on skills, and engaged in faith-filled community experiences that emphasized service, resilience, and unity.

Impact at Home

Service Week 2025

Service Week saw unprecedented engagement with over 100 students serving in small teams at 25+ partner organizations—including food banks, shelters, and churches. Students learned about the many ways to serve in these areas and appreciated the impact of those who already serve with their hearts at these places which address community needs.
 

Our Service Program

Our service program encourages a servant heart in God’s world through local and global mission projects.

The framework is divided into four phases:  K-G2; G3-G5; G6-G10; G11-G12.  The framework is also based on Westerhoff’s four stages in faith development: experienced faith, belonging faith, searching faith, and owned faith.  It is also based on Lawrence Kohlberg’s stages of moral reasoning.  From their research we plan for Mission and Service Learning using four contexts: Seeing God’s world, caring for God’s world, knowing God’s world, and going into God’s world.
