At CCS, our goal is to inscribe the Good News of Jesus' death and resurrection on our students' hearts. Christ gives us our help for today and our great hope for tomorrow. This is the basis of who we are and what we do. As a father of six and a parent of a CCS alumnus, I can tell you that God has blessed the CCS community with an abundance of talent and potential in so many areas. And our students are encouraged to use those talents to show the world the Good News about Jesus.

Life Verse: Romans 8:31
Favorite part of working in Christian education: The best part of working in Christian education is the supportive, loving environment to help shape the Christian world view of young people. Calvary Christian School, with its unique emphasis on "education by discipleship", where we pray specifically for our students every morning, is particularly well placed for such a time as this in our history where a polarized society struggles with freedom, division and the basis for true unity as a nation.
