  • Diligently hiding God's word in the students' hearts so they might be able to stand strong in Him against the attacks of the deceiver.
    (Col. 2:7-8, Eph. 4:14, Eph. 6:11, Psalm 119:11, Proverbs 4:20-23, Deut. 6:7)
  • Providing Godly counsel and mentorship throughout academic, athletic, and extracurricular experiences. (Psalm 1:1-2, 2 Timothy. 2:2, Titus 2:3-4)
  • Pointing them to our ultimate goal as Christians of being holy, consecrated, and conformed into the image of His Son. (Romans. 8:29, Romans 12:1-2)
