Welcome to the Christian Service Report
Login page for traditional and QUEST students. If you have questions,
check out the FAQ below. Otherwise, login to complete your Christian Service
Report form.
1. What is the goal of Christian
service?
The Christian service program of DCC seeks to encourage students in finding
venues for service during their college years, to help them develop their
spiritual gifts for ministry, to gain valuable experience, and to apply
what they learn in the classroom to the task of ministry. All Christians
are called to be servants. While these requirements appear at first to
be above and beyond the necessary academic work in preparing for ministry,
they are at the heart of preparing for service. There is no better way
to apply material learned in the classroom than to serve regularly while
at DCC. Entering Christian service hours is also a benefit to students
as they have a working resume when looking for internships and employment.
2. Is Christian service required
for all students?
Christian service is the goal toward which Christian college education
moves. Dallas Christian College thus requires Christian service of all
students on a regular basis as required by the Association for Biblical
Higher Education and as described in the DCC Student Handbook and catalog.
A record of each student’s Christian service is kept. Such Christian
service involvement is required for graduation as stated in the requirements
for graduation. Students are required to receive a passing grade in Christian
service for every semester in which they take six or more hours of classes.
Each student taking 6 or more hours must participate in a minimum of six
(6) hours of Christian service activities per month.
3. When are the Christian

sick, administering church and para-church organizations, ministering
to those in prison, meeting the needs of the homeless, the elderly, children,
taking leadership roles in the teaching and worship ministries of a congregation,
and countless more. The Christian service program of DCC seeks to encourage
students in finding venues for service during their college years, to
help them develop their spiritual gifts for ministry, and to apply what
they learn in the classroom to the task of ministry."
5. What is required

for Student Development for available opportunities for service within
the metroplex and beyond.
