Student Life

Service and Leadership

Students’ spiritual growth moves beyond the classroom through their mission work and community service projects.

Through Bible classes, You Fed Me, Chapel, community service, and Biblical integration throughout the curriculum, students are encouraged to develop into mature, Christ-honoring individuals. Students at MBCA are responsible for contributing their time and gifts to a number of different missions in and around the community. Each grade level adopts a mission to nurture and support.

Lower School

Each Lower School classroom participates in contributing towards our You Fed Me outreach. Collections are taken during chapel, and the funds provide food for those around the world in need. Each spring, Lower School students, faculty, staff, and volunteers spend a day packing 50,000 meals that are sent directly to those who need them most.
Middle School
At MBCA, our staff is committed to helping students learn and grow as followers of Christ throughout the school year. Learning to be servant leaders and sacrifice in humility and to develop good work habits will help students grow in character, wisdom, and discernment.
Middle School students are encouraged to grow as servant leaders through a variety of meaningful service and leadership opportunities. In bi-weekly small groups, students put Chapel messages into action by completing hands-on service projects that support local ministries. Through our House system, student leaders inspire and mobilize their peers to contribute to ongoing donation drives, helping to foster a spirit of generosity and community.
Each year, one academic day is devoted entirely to service. Students begin the day working on projects for local ministry partners and end the day participating in YouFedMe, a school-wide initiative where meals are packed for people in need around the world.
After two years of serving locally, 8th grade students have the opportunity to take part in an international mission trip to Costa Rica. Partnering with a local ministry, students complete service projects in the community and host local children broadening their understanding of global service and leadership.

The Eagle Service Program:
The Eagle Service Program is designed to cultivate a lifelong heart for service by encouraging students to actively engage in helping others both on campus and in the broader community. Through this program, students are empowered to take initiative, serve with purpose, and reflect Christ’s love in tangible ways. Whether through school-sponsored events, local outreach, or personal service projects, the Eagle Service Program provides students with meaningful opportunities to make a difference and grow as compassionate, servant-hearted leaders.
To support this growth, students are required to complete a set number of service hours each year:
- 6th grade: 10 hours
- 7th grade: 15 hours
- 8th grade: 20 hours
