Service Learning

Service focuses on spiritual development nurtured by experiential learning through intentional curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular processes. This development is reached by focusing on the development of expressed spiritual formation through intentional curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular experiential learning processes.

What Service Learning can teach

Service in the SFP is designed to complete the spiritual formation circle by providing avenues for the conveying of Christian knowledge -Intellect- and the expression of Christian dispositions -Character- in real world settings. Service in the SFP rests on the principles and practices of service-learning:

• Reflection to gain deeper understanding of self, spirituality, community, civic responsibility, and professional discipline
• Engagement of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and dispositions. Christian service will be a direct manifestation of the Service component of the SFP and the maturity that comes from spiritual formation.
