Christian school

Our aging campus now gives us an opportunity to begin casting an exciting vision for new facilities that will further our mission for another six decades. This…

grade, even when I had returned to the States. Although not baptized and, still, a “Christian” like my parents, I had fully immersed into the Catholic community, knowledgeable of Catholics’ way of practices inside out. It was only when I transferred to a Christian school when I realized I wanted to become fully involved with Christianity. There were no particular reasons as to why I wanted to become a devout Christian. Driving force to follow God was from the need to assimilate with those around…

Christianity for instance, was focused on the Judaic thought and there were numerous practices that were picked up which were clearly not part of early Christianity. For instance while celebrating Christmas, the tree, and feasts are all Pagan rituals that were incorporated into Christianity as a means to convert the non – Christians (Maroney, 2006). Another main festive that is followed by Christians is the…

obeyed God’s command to leave his own country to a land he did not know.

Do you ache for a Christian faith that is passionate and personal, while at the same time intellectually robust, generous, and sensitive? Those are the wants of the Evangelical Christian faith” (Wildman). Part of being an Evangelical Christian is about being intense and passionate in one’s faith. Any person…

3.While the literal definition of a Christian means to follow the teachings of Jesus, I believe there's more to it than just that. I believe being a Christian is achieved by completing day to day tasks as Jesus would. It is one thing to hear his scriptures but it is another thing to act in the same way he would.

Staffing within a Christian ministry organization can be a difficult task at times. A lot of responsibility comes with the job.
