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).

Bachelor’s programs: CSV 199 and CSV 200
