As students grow in their understanding of service and their gifts and talents, they are required to do more hours. Meeting quarterly benchmarks is necessary to remain in good standing and eligible for extracurricular activities. Service hours above the minimum requirement do not continue to the next academic year. Students who complete 100 or more hours by the Monday following Easter Break will receive a Christian Service Certificate.

The process of locating, attending, and tracking one’s service record is an empowering life skill that benefits students in college and beyond. Students are encouraged to take responsibility for arranging their service opportunities. To aid Troubies, the Campus Ministry department offers the following support:

• MobileServe orientation for Freshmen and transfer student
• Frequent emails notifying students about upcoming opportunities
• Fall Service Fair so that students can make in-person contact with local non-profit volunteer coordinators
• Access to a master list of pre-approved, non-profit organizations
• Appointments for students to meet with the Campus Minister for Christian Service to find appropriate opportunities
