On top of the structured opportunities presented to students in the APCT program, many students create their opportuniteis for service learning and research through research teams, interaction with local congregations, employment, and community organizations.

However, the APCT program is not merely about developing psychological skills in individuals.  It is also structured to allow students the flexibility to pursue other goals, interests, and opportunities.  Students have participated to varying degrees in spring break campaigns, social clubs, student government, and other organizations.  Students have enjoyed leadership opportunities though Essence of Ebony, the Students Association, and other groups.  The purpose of the program is not to forece students into an overwhelming schedule, rather to provide the structure to move students in challenging way through their coursework, while still allowing for participation in the areas of Christian development available at ACU.
