Is church considered an extracurricular activity?

Hi, I'm fairly active in my church and was wondering if this could be counted as an extracurricular activity on my college applications? I appreciate any guidance you can give!

Hello! Absolutely, being active in your church can definitely be considered an extracurricular activity on your college applications. Colleges are generally interested in understanding your passions and how you spend your time outside of the classroom.

If you have held leadership positions or participated in community service projects through your church, be sure to mention these experiences to demonstrate your commitment and skills. Just make sure to describe your involvement in detail, so admission officers get a sense of your contributions and the impact you've made.

Best of luck with your applications!
