Service Day | April 13, 2023
Each year on Service Day, classes are cancelled to give students & employees an opportunity to work together as an expression of our faith commitment to service at Messiah University. We work to serve our community through a multitude of projects both on & off campus.
What is the purpose of Service Day?
Service Day is designed to help fulfill Messiah University's mission to prepare students “for lives of service, leadership, and reconciliation in church and society." We encourage students and employees alike to participate in service with the local community.
What can I do for Service Day?
If you are a student currently enrolled in a Created & Called for Community (also known as CCC) course, your course instructor will advise you on your role for Service Day.
If you are NOT currently enrolled in a CCC course, you can sign up for any on or off campus service opportunity.
