for students, participation in service projects and involvement in chapel. Some events that have been done by this committee are 24/7 Prayer weeks,

This team will provide interested students
with opportunities to put their faith in to practice on campus, in the community, and internationally. This will include local outreach events such

community and to advocate for the poor, the disenfranchised, and the disabled. We believe that to be Christian means caring about the things Christ
cared about; we strive to be a blessing to others just as Christ has blessed us.
Community Focus Committee:
