Why serve?
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faithand this not from
yourselves, it is the gift of Godnot by works, so that no one can boast. For
we are Gods workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which
God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:8-10
There is no substitute for Gods grace that brings salvation. This salvation
has not been given to us merely for the purpose of attaining eternal life
ourselves, but rather we are called to be Gods vessels of love to the world
around us, demonstrated by good works.
It is with this in mind that TMS has complemented our Bible curriculum with
a service expectation so that you, our students, can put feet to your faith.
We ask that you serve in the local community, the nation and the world in
which you live.
We believe that the outcome of this service will include many benefits for
you, including the following:
Development of Christian maturity
Learning about yourself, your likes and dislikes, strengths and
weaknesses, as well as new gifts and talents.
Development of leadership skills and opportunities to practice
servant leadership.
Preparation for future college and career.
Even greater still is the outcome that God will be honored and His kingdom
realities will be made apparent in this world by your service.
John 13:34-35
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for
the Lord, not for men.
