Let’s Pray for the Senior Service Practicum:  

Heavenly Father, we pray that you would provide encouragement and protection to the leaders, chaperones, and students throughout their service trip to Newport, Tennessee. Please grant them safe travel. Help them remain faithful with the things you have entrusted to them. Bless the work of their hands that it might be a blessing to others. Let them set examples in speech, life, love, and faith. Give them discernment to deal with any problems that may arise. We pray that the experiences they have will not only become great stories to share, but experiences that remain with them always. Send the Holy Spirit to each person so that they grow especially close to you and the others on the trip. May this be a sacred time in their lives. Amen.

Development Update

$3 MILLION PLEDGED TOWARD OUR $4 MILLION GOAL 

We are well on our way to:  

  • Establishing a $5 million endowment,  
  • Installing synthetic turf on our competition field,  
  • Improving student parking.  

A turf field raises the standard, more parking makes life easier, and an endowment increases missional stability. More importantly, sacrificially giving to a cause that matters is transformative.  

  • Your gift says thank you for strategically and intentionally pursuing my child.
  • Your gift helps make the path we navigate together more efficient and more effective.
  • Your gift prepares generations to serve Christ and Kingdom.
