Mission & Passion
The purpose of Christian education is to awaken and broaden the mind so that one does not become a slave to any human system, but is freed to know and serve Christ. What drives me as a teacher is the challenge to move students out of lethargy and passivity to engagement, curiosity, creativity, and productiveness; and to encourage them to deepen their understanding of how the Creator has woven His truth and wisdom into all of creation and, therefore, into the study of all of creation.
Inspiring Verse
“For all thing are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours. And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.”
I Corinthians 3:21a-23
