Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we have a purpose for which we were saved. The Great Commission found in Matthew 28:16-20 tells us that making disciples, baptizing them, and teaching them to obey Jesus is a part of that purpose. Fulfilling our purpose also requires finding our place in the broader Body of Christ. As such, CCCB encourages our students to serve the Kingdom of God while seeking out, processing, and discerning their God-given purpose and vocation by completing 30 hours of service learning per semester.
Service Learning is both a chance to serve others in the Kingdom and to explore vocation. Saints GPS encourages students to serve in their area of learning in order to test their fit and gifting in a given profession. As such, the following goals are a place to start this journey:
- To gain practical experience.
- To discover how your unique talents can be used for God’s glory.
- To learn to be a leader.
- To learn to be sensitive to other people’s needs.
- To appreciate the work, the problems, the challenges, and the rewards of service in the local church.
- To learn responsibility by completing and reporting your Service-Learning assignments faithfully and on time.
- To graduate with a feeling of confidence in your ability to use what you have learned at CCCB in any situation.
- To learn how to life a faithful life of Kingdom ministry.
CCCB encourages its students to use their various gifts and talents in some form of ministry or service in the kingdom while enrolled, and then continue that service upon graduation
