InterSCession
InterSCession provides an opportunity for students to encounter God’s heart for the world through service, immersive experiences, and unique hands-on education. Options are strategically planned as a natural extension of the rich curriculum already engaging learners in the classroom. As the most anticipated week of the year, students are challenged to think biblically as they connect with the world around them and discover ways to utilize their knowledge, skills, and talents to impact their world for Christ.
Each experience falls into at least one of the following categories:
- Service in nature. Students engage needy communities as the hands and feet of Jesus locally and abroad, and may minister directly to the spiritual needs of others. Service hours will be earned during these experiences.
- Experiential in nature. Students participate in immersive experiences through exposure to God’s amazing creation to see how a Christian worldview relates to all aspects of life. Service hours may account for a portion of these experiences.
- Educational in nature. Students are spurned to greater passion and interest in bible, history, science, the arts, and more as they dive deeply into subjects from a Christian worldview. Service hours may account for a portion of these experiences.
