Servant Team

Jesus was the greatest example of servant leadership. The Bible tells us, "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve." (Matthew 20:28)

Launched in 2007, the Servant Team consists of approximately 50 students in grades 6-8. The Team meets three times each year to volunteer in the community. In the past, students have raked leaves at the homes of people who are living with cancer, prepared nutritious meals that will feed hungry families around the world, purchased Christmas gifts for children with parents who are incarcerated in Canadian prisons, packaged humanitarian aid for delivery worldwide, and more! Here are a few of the organizations we have served over the years:

Crossroads Prison Ministries
Kerr Street Mission
Kids Against Hunger
Ontario Christian Gleaners
Sew on Fire
Wellspring Oakville
WOW Mission

Another key element of the Servant Team is working alongside our parents. We want to model to our children that we are called to serve in God's Kingdom. Therefore, for every event, we ask parents to serve with us. Parental involvement at Servant Team events enhances the strong sense of community at our school.

Developing servant hearts in our students is key for them to develop a deeper relationship with their Lord and Saviour. Our prayer is that our kids will be inspired to also make a difference in God’s Kingdom here on earth as they continue to grow spiritually in Him.

November (Wellspring)

In November, we worked with “Wellspring,” an organization that supports families with cancer. For 14 years, we have raked leaves for families living with cancer. Here's what some of the families had to say about the Servant Team:

God helped us by bringing dry weather today. Two lovely families came and did a tremendous job raking and blowing leaves. Every year all families want to do so much, it is great to have such energetic people around. Their three children were fabulous, they never stopped raking or doing what was necessary. They asked if they could pray for me and offered a prayer. I was honoured as a practicing Catholic for such kindness. Thank you Knox Christian school for having met such joyful families. Thanks to you, Betty, for organizing such a service.

Words don’t seems enough to express my gratitude for your help in Fall cleanup around my home but thank you so so much for your ever present help!

A great big thank you as well to the wonderful family who offered to come, on their day off, with their amazing four children who all contributed to the beautiful cleanup job. I can see grass again! May God Bless you all for your kindness and prayers.

[I] am very delighted to share with you the exemplary work that was accomplished by the families that you lined up for me. The women brought their children, and one and all pitched in with great dedication. The team work meant they were finished in 2 hours, a job that would have taken me working if I could days to accomplish. I was so impressed with all their efforts! We were blessed that it was not raining and I was especially blessed to enjoy their presence. Please pass along AGAIN a BIG THANK YOU to them.

Mr. Ashraf and Mr. Imad had come over today morning with their children for raking I had a short chat with them about the character building values your school teaches. Very impressed! Thanks and Regards.
