Missions & Service

	The educational goals at JMS include a social, outreach, and community component that is consistent with the anabaptist world view of servant hood. These goals help to define why service is an integral part of the atmosphere at JMS. JMS students will:
		Respect individuals as created by God, and authority as placed there by God
		Show courtesy and respect toward all individuals while serving others
		Exhibit Christian values and a good neighbor attitude through outreach activities
		Use conflict resolution skills, cooperation, and teamwork when given the opportunity
		Display sensitivity in meeting the needs of others in the community
		Demonstrate dependability and self-motivation when engaging in service projects
		Develop and use God-given gifts.

	These goals go hand in hand with the spiritual, academic, and well-being goals. A graduate of JMS should be a well rounded and adjusted citizen.

	Mission and service at JMS starts early with helping others within the classroom and around the school. More defined areas of service develop through the Middle School outreach to local nursing homes and through agencies of community help such as thrift stores, etc. High School students spend time with mission organizations such as TIMS, helping to building a school in Jamaica with World Servants, various Rescue Missions, Mennonite World Relief, etc. These opportunities change from year to year, but service stays consistent on a yearly basis.
