AND WOMEN TO IMPACT THEIR WORLD FOR GOD’S GLORY.

OUR MISSION IS TO PARTNER WITH PARENTS IN PROVIDING AN ACADEMIC AND SPIRITUAL EDUCATION THAT INSPIRES STUDENTS TO BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF CHRIST, EQUIPS THEM TO DISCOVER TRUTH THROUGH THE LENS OF SCRIPTURE, AND DEVELOPS THEIR POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER EDUCATIONAL PURSUITS.

UNITYINTHEBODYOFCHRIST

"I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."

Flag football in only its 2nd year hosted 10 teams and 70 participating students! End of season Championships were won by the New Orleans Saints and the New York Jets. We are already looking forward to next year!

Mrs. Meyer coached her Middle and High school art students through creating, displaying, and selling beautiful paintings, calligraphy, and sculptures of all different shapes and designs. The art corner led to many sales of student featured work, with funds supporting the Cabin Fever event.

SPRINGSHOWCASE

This May, the Elementary art and music departments were able to collaborate on an event that featured student work compiled through the Spring semester from both campuses. The night also featured ensemble compilations from the 4th and 5th grade choirs, and Middle and High School choirs. Thank you to Mrs. Meyer, Mrs Kellenberger, Mr Wagner, and Mrs. Sedrak for a night to Proclaim!

Hurricane Ian Relief in Har

I have been involved with several missions trips, with each one is different in many ways. Sometimes moving out of your comfort zone will push you further than you can imagine! I’m so proud of this group of teens (and leaders)! I could have never imagined the aftermath of a hurricane without seeing it firsthand. Our students grew in their faith, construction knowledge, and so much more! I am thankful for the adults who invested in our students and the stories they heard from those who experienced the hurricane firsthand.
