The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua!Many school advocate for "service learning", an educational concept defined as "an educational approach that combines meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities." But, at Northwest Christian, the bones of this concept are restructured, repurposed, and retitled "Missions Learning".So, pragmatically, what is the difference between service learning and Northwest Christian's "Missions Learning"?Tomorrow, March 4, is one of the 2025/2026 school year's "High School Serve Days" - a day completely dedicated to Missions Learning. As such, we thought it would be interesting to explore this question, as well as several others, with Tyler Collins, the high school teacher/leader that drives the program forward.What is the difference between service learning and Missions Learning? What happens when over 500 high schoolers set out to work within the community? Where do they go and what do they do? And, perhaps most importantly, is it having the desire impact in the lives of students?Missions Learning is an aspect of Northwest Christian's Pursuing His Purpose game plan and strategy.
