En Christe Program

En Christe is the BSCHS service-learning program, coordinated through and vitally linked to our Theology curriculum. Answering the call of Christ in Matthew 25, students engage directly with the disenfranchised, and through a reflection project connect their service experiences with the content of their Theology courses.

Pre-approved Organizations

Any direct service to the communities mentioned in the Corporal Works of Mercy will count for En Christe hours. Though there are many, many, many more organizations in the Hampton Roads area (and beyond!) that serve these communities, and service through those organizations would be a wonderful way to complete your En Christe ministry, these are some organizations with which students have completed hours in fulfillment of En Christe in the past…(and this list is growing! Please email me with any other organizations you would like to see here!)
