Service Learning
All we do at CBC is designed for the purpose of “Preparing People for Life and Ministry”. As Christians we know that those two words must go
together. God never intended the Christian life to be void of ministry nor ministry to be distinct from life. The CBC Service Learning
Department desires to bring those two words together in a meaningful way for each of our students by providing hands on ministry experience in life
settings. We want to do this by providing:
1. Opportunities for students to:
-
Explore their gifts and talents in a supervised setting,
-
Gain practical experience in a safe environment,
-
Develop a servant heart, and
-
Apply what they are learning in the classroom.
2. Opportunities for churches / organizations to:
-
Experience the benefits of having contact with one of our great students,
-
Help a student learn in an understanding setting, and
-
Obtain help for their ministry / program.
3. Opportunities for supervisors to:
-
Invest time and energy into a student, and
-
Develop a mentoring relationship; passing on what they have learned to someone who will benefit from the supervisor's
experience.
By providing those quality opportunities, CBC, along with the churches/organizations, will help our students “Learn To Live Well” as they prepare
for a life of ministry in the years ahead.
The Service Learning Department oversees two distinct but similar tracks within the CBC Curriculum:
Service Practicum (Required 2-3
hours per week for our 1st and 2nd year students)
Internship (Required 10+ hours per week for our 3rd and 4th year students)
