The SERVE.experience – Certificate of Intercultural Studies

Challenge and Change, in Community. The SERVE.experience is a nine-month discipleship program designed to foster personal, spiritual, and relational growth as you prepare to serve God and others in this world. The combination of academic studies, retreats, service opportunities, and cultural experiences will begin to equip you for effective cross-cultural service. You will have the opportunity to apply what is learned during a cross-cultural ministry trip to Quebec in May, following the end of the academic year.

Please Note

• Enrolment in the SERVE.experience is limited to 12 students.
• Enrolment in the SERVE.experience also involves an additional expense of $250 for the year. This fee covers the costs of two mandatory retreats, various cultural outings, and contributes toward the expenses of the ministry experience in Quebec. (Together, we will work on raising additional funds throughout the school year.)
