Community Service
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45
At NCCS, service is one of our core values. Our desire is to reach students with the good news of Jesus Christ and to help them become the hands and feet of Christ as they serve others in His name.
Throughout the year, students participate in many projects and events designed to mold them into believers who are “doers of the word,” learning to love others well (James 1:22).

Kathleen was kind and helpful and always looking for opportunities to use her gifts to serve others. Kathleen passed away in the spring before her graduation, but our heart is to continue to honor her commitment to modeling what it looks like to follow Christ in loving others well.

The Benefits of Community Service at NCCS
In addition to showing the character of Christ, participating in community service also equips students for their futures.
In preparation for college application and acceptance, students are encouraged to develop a resume, which should include a wide variety of legitimate community service activities, outside of regular church or school-related opportunities.
By participating in community service at North Cobb Christian School, students are paving the way for the college admissions process and beyond.
