The Office of Extension Ministries also keeps students informed of avenues for summer service, including serving at a local church, summer missions or ministering at a camp. For students who want to help out a small congregation after graduation, there are numerous smaller churches wanting their help. Those students interested in church planting can find a list of various needy areas in the United States without any good churches.
