APPLY TO MESSIAH

Service Day

Service Day | April 4, 2024

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. 

See service anew
