CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY SERVICE
“Whatsoever you do to the least of my people that you do unto me.”
Our Christian life calls us to treat one another as a neighbour. We must show our love for God by
showing all people that we are willing to be of service to one another by completing 40 hours of
community service.

CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT SERVICE PROJECT
The Ontario Secondary School Diploma requirement expect the student to locate a worthy area for service within
your community and complete 40 hours as a graduation requirement. We support this project because it encourages
you to have a deeper understanding of the Christian call to service and to live out this call by participating in
various forms of community outreach for the sake of your own personal growth and supporting and strengthening
your community.
