Our Identity
"Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts."
-Colossians 3:16
An anthem is a declaration of praise. Since the creation of the world, God has declared the song of redemption in the lives of man, in the world He created, and in His word. His redemptive purpose is evident in all subjects and in our hearts, our minds, and our actions. From reciting beautiful poetry, scripture, and hymns in our classrooms to studying God’s handiwork in the heavens, we will declare, every day, God’s goodness to a hurting world. Together we will #RaiseTheAnthem.
The Anthem
The Anthem
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
-1 Peter 2:9
A royal is set apart for the purpose of leading others. Good leaders use their position to demonstrate virtues such as truth, justice, generosity, humility, and piety. As members of God’s royal priesthood, we have the unique ability to administer His goodness and hope to a hurting world. For this reason, we believe students should lead in such a way that cultivates Heavenly values instead of earthly ones.
The Royal
“What is man that you are mindful of him and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.”
Psalm 8:4-5
The Crown
Psalm 8 tells us that God establishes His strength through His most precious creation--children. We believe the crown serves as a reminder to our students that they are crowned with God’s glory and honor so they can help establish His redemptive purpose for the world. We want to raise men and women who have hope and give hope because they are image-bearers of a loving God.
