Giving back to the community is important. Beyond service events, BRCS promotes opportunities to engage students from area schools and churches. Intramural sports teams bring students from area high schools together to play in an encouraging and God-honoring environment. BRCS high school students also led a nine-week Alpha course which brought area teens together through food and discussion to explore the Christian faith.

Our Heart & S.O.U.L. program gives high school students an understanding of the Heart of God, by being a part of His greater kingdom through Service, Outreach, Uplift and Love. We learn from Christ’s example and through His teaching that a walk with Christ must include compassionate outreach to others, especially to those who are less fortunate. Students accumulate Heart and S.O.U.L service hours and reflect on their experiences in their Bible classes.
