Faith Preparatory School
Community Service
Community service encourages students to develop empathy, responsibility, and a commitment to serving others. Matthew 5:16 (NLT) reminds us:
“In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your Heavenly Father.”
Serving others not only meets practical needs but also reflects the love of Christ to our community. Through this requirement, students will have opportunities to live out their faith, develop a servant’s heart, and be a light for Jesus wherever they go.
​
