Favorite Verse
Philippians 4:4-7
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God that transcends all our understanding will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
Why I choose to serve at HCS
To be honest, God chose me to serve at HCS in the position of Dean of Students. When He calls, you go. I am trusting that He will equip me to what He has called me to. The staff and community at Highland Christian has been so supportive and encouraging already and I am looking forward to getting to know all the families at HCS!
