Service & Missions
Showing the love of Christ
by reaching out to others.
From early childhood, students at Providence are taught to show Christ’s love in action. There are community service opportunities off and on campus from preschool through 12th grade to reach out through giving, building, and other special projects. Our high school students have the opportunity to participate in a global missions project.
