Service Opportunities

As we grow through our Asbury experience, our ability to serve others expands and deepens. The Office of Community Service-Learning is here to help find ways to best meet the needs of the community - be it on our campus, in Wilmore, or thousands of miles away.

Serving others is a direct way to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a world that needs His presence. Through a wide array of available projects, or by tailoring a service opportunity to best fit you, we hope to walk with you as you develop a lifestyle of servant leadership and unlock a better understanding of God's purpose and will for your life.
