"The Spiritual Life at 欧博体育"
My Name is Pastor Joshua Camper, and I am the Campus Pastor for 欧博体育. I truly count it an honor and a blessing to Partner with Heaven to serve the Students, Families, Staff, and surrounding community here at 欧博体育. Spiritual Life is the foundation of 欧博体育平台 school. We understand that life is about relationships. Here at 欧博体育, our student's relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is of utmost importance (John 17:3). Our heart and mission for our students is not only for them to grow in a loving relationship with Jesus, but also for that relationship to impact every environment our students enter (Matt. 5:16). We don't simply aim to fill our school's seats with students but to fill our students with JESUS that they may be "complete and equipped for every good work". We aim to know Jesus and make Him known in fulfillment of the "Great Commission". |
Several of the ways we fulfill this mission is by ingraining a biblical worldview in all our academics, weekly chapels that are centered around worship, God's word, fellowship, and prayer (Acts 2:42). We are intentional with small discipleship groups which provide intimate opportunities for our students to develop their gifts, talents and further equip them for their mission field. Furthermore, our school retreats, outreach programs, mission trips, and leadership training provide a variety of opportunities to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus.
My heart's desire and passion as the Campus Pastor are to co-Labor alongside our 欧博体育 Staff, Students, Families, and surrounding community to help disciple, equip, and send our students out into the world to win souls for the Kingdom of God. We know and trust that God can do exceedingly and abundantly beyond all we could ask or think according to the power that works in us.

Spiritual Emphasis
At 欧博体育 the spiritual growth of your child is paramount. The Spiritual Life at 欧博体育 is designed to teach your child the ways of Jesus Christ, grow in their knowledge of the Word of God, and learn to implement Christs' teachings in today's world. We desire for your child to live out a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ, but especially, to live out the Greatest and second commandment given by Jesus himself,
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
- Matthew 22:37
- Matthew 22:37
We accomplish this by creating a Bible program that is experiential and relevant, chapels that are vibrant and encouraging, small groups that are intentional and caring, and mission trips and outreach experiences that will transform your child and bring out their desire to serve others. In the classroom, the Christian worldview dominates each subject, from history to biology. Small class size and a staff of dedicated Christian teachers allow one-on-one attention which builds the Christian character for every student at 欧博体育. We are excited to see what the Lord will do with your child as they experience Spiritual Life at 欧博体育 and graduate into the world prepared to make a difference for Jesus Christ.

Therefore, each enrolled student is required to have at least one parent sign our Statement of Christian Commitment. Exceptions to this standard are rare and must be approved by our principal.
Christian Character Development
欧博体育 strives to teach students what it means to be Christ followers, building character that is based on the truth of God's Word rather than social norms. Teaching the moral values clearly defined in Scripture and focusing on the example Jesus set of loving and serving others will equip our students to grow and mature in their faith.

基督为中心 Discipleship

Our middle school small groups are designed for our students to be loved and cared for by a Holy Spirit-filled adult mentor in a small group setting. Every student is poured into by our caring Christian staff. It is during small groups that our students are discipled, listened to, and cared for. Students have the opportunity to share what is going on in their lives and be given sound Biblical advice from their mentors. Our students also relate to one another during these times, ensuring strong relationships and friendships are built amongst our students.
