There can be no more eloquent witness or testimony to faith than simply “doing unto others” in the name of Christ. It is in the lived, experienced and reflected upon service to others that our teens truly learn who it is that is their neighbor and what it is to be transformed through loving that neighbor.  
Service opportunities that are on this page can be applied towards your ministry service hour goals (hours required for within CCOP), even if it is an opportunity that goes off site. Please check back often for new opportunities as this page will be updated as things become available.

​In an effort to go paperless, service hours will now be tracked digitally.  Please submit any service hours completed here!  If at anytime you need to know where you are with service hours, don't hesitate to ask.  ​
