Annual Service Requirements

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. 

(Ephesians 2:10)

Annual Service Requirements

High school students at Lake Country Christian School are required to complete 30 hours of service annually as part of their graduation requirements. Service hours are divided into semesters - 15 for 1st semester and 15 for second semester. 1st semester hours must be completed by December 1st. 2nd semester hours must be completed by May 1st. 

Students may complete up to 10 service hours during the summer before the upcoming school year, which would be applied to 1st semester hours. Service hours must be fulfilled during the current academic school year. 

More than a requirement, we believe that serving others profoundly impacts a student’s life as they learn to follow Christ’s example of serving others (Luke 22:25-27). Service has been an integral facet of our Spiritual Life program since the founding of LCCS.  Every student will earn part of their needed service hours during LCCS In Action, our annual campus-wide community service day.  LCCS in Action is required for all staff and students.  Students are also strongly encouraged to fulfill their yearly service requirement by participating in an LCCS-sponsored mission trip. One of our mission trips' prime components and memory-making opportunities is the opportunity for students to interact with their teachers and classmates in a unique environment while serving others.  Completed service requirements are reflected in high school transcripts.
