Leadership & Mentoring

Recognizing your crucial place in a community, can be a deeply spiritual experience.

Through small discussion groups in the upper school, your children are grouped with teachers and students they would not normally interact with during the school day to explore and reinforce messages from recent chapel services. Your high school-age student is given ample opportunity to lead the small groups as well as other service projects and ministry opportunities to refine their spiritual leadership skills and serve as peer role models to younger students.

Mentoring Mustangs

Each year, fifth- through eighth-grade boys and girls are assigned to small groups with students and teachers they would not encounter during the normal school day to discuss spiritual issues and messages from the recent chapel services. These discussions provide your middle school-age students with fellowship and the opportunity to develop unlikely relationships, opening their eyes to all the ways God can act in their lives and the lives of others.
