STAAF Program Committee
Service, Training, Appreciation, Advocacy & Fellowship committee is responsible for planning and executing staff training, appreciation, and fellowship events throughout the academic year. As Christians, we are told that the greatest commandment is to love – to love our neighbors and to love the Lord. In keeping with that commandment, the Service group searches for opportunities in Waco to serve others – whether that is serving the Baylor community or the Waco community. We usually have one main service project per semester (but there are many opportunities for smaller projects too); projects are subject to the approval of Executive Council & Staff Council Membership.
