Lake Center Christian School

Serving Others

Although we place great value on students excelling in academics, the arts and in athletic competition, we believe it is essential to their overall development to know who they are in Christ. This discovery process enables students to understand their uniqueness and how to apply knowledge gained in life-application decisions and meaningful service for Christ and mankind.

Locally

Each grade is required to fulfill at least one service project a year, and the entire school participates in various clothing and food drives throughout the year.

Students have participated in mission work at the Canton YMCA (Canton, Ohio) to pre-schoolers providing crafts and teaching about Christ’s love for them through His resurrection.

Students have assisted in planning, preparation and ministering to homeless women and children at the Haven of Rest Homeless Shelter in Akron, Ohio. Students have also ministered to the children by providing opportunities not readily available to them such as a trip to Chuck E. Cheese, Pump-It-Up and have also provided stockings and cake baking supplies through the annual Cookie Bake Sale. 



Students have also supplied Harvest Home and two other homeless shelters with themed birthday parties for the kids through Operation Birthday Party.

Students and parents provided over 100 uniform shirts and socks during the Christmas season to students in need at the Leggett Elementary School in Akron, Ohio.

Globally



Elementary students participate in the nationwide Backpack Program. Each week in September through May, students provide nonperishable food for sixty students that do not have food for the weekend. 



Junior and Senior High students traveled to the Dominican Republic to minister primarily to Haitian children through the leadership team at the Meeting God in Missions compound. Students ministered through Vacation Bible School programs and sports – namely soccer and baseball.

Students also participate in a 30-Hour Famine which is a nationwide event sponsored by World Vision. Students joined forces to seek God through fasting, praying and raising money for the needy during the famine. Each dollar raised provided equivalent food and care for one day of support. Students raised over $2,500 during the 30-Hour Famine.
