Christian Service Ministries
The Christian Service Ministries are areas of Christian service selected by the student. The student then involves himself in the chosen area and is required to spend no less than two (2) hours each week in that ministry area. The following is a detailed sketch of the program: the student enrolls (at the time of Registration) for the selected Ministry and involves himself/herself in that area of ministry.
