Christian Service

LBC | Capital has a long history of students volunteering in the church and community to live out a biblical worldview and to proclaim Christ. We believe that involving students in service helps to fulfill our academic vision of rooting students biblically, forming their characters, and developing their missional vocations. As students are participating, they are helping God’s people fulfill the Great Commission by proclaiming the good news of Christ’s redemption and are being prepared to pursue excellence in their field of study.

While many students are already involved in their local churches and communities, the Christian Service requirement allows LBC | Capital to understand these contributions and to encourage others who may not be participating to seek out service to grow them personally and to share Christ’s love with others. Additionally, the Christian Service requirement helps LBC | Capital to fulfill the ministry formation standard with our institutional accreditor, Association of Biblical Higher Education (ABHE).

For students in hybrid and online undergraduate programs, here are the requirements:

Bachelor’s programs: CSV 199 and CSV 200
Associate programs: CSV 199

For students who transfer to LBC | Capital, here are the requirements:

• Bachelor’s students that transfer in with 60 or more credits will be required to complete only one Christian Service course
• Associate’s students that transfer into LBC with 30 or more credits will be required to complete only one Christian Service course
• Students that transfer from an LBC associate’s program to an LBC bachelor’s program will be required to complete only one Christian Service course, regardless of credits
