Rooted in Christ, Growing Through Change

May is a full and vibrant season at Faith Christian School. With so many exciting events and opportunities, it’s easy for students—and all of us—to move quickly from one thing to the next. That’s why we are intentional about creating space for our students to pause, reflect, and process the transitions that come with the end of the school year.

For our secondary students, weekly devotionals and chapel continue to center us in God’s Word. But for our 8th and 12th graders, we go even deeper. Earlier this month, our 8th Grade class traveled to Baraboo for a retreat at Expeditions Unlimited. With the guidance of dedicated staff chaperones, students spent time at Devil’s Lake State Park canoeing, hiking, worshiping, listening, and praying. It was a meaningful time to recognize God’s faithfulness in their lives as they prepare to enter high school.

This week, our Seniors are away on a capstone trip in northern Arizona, hosted at Gloryview Ranch. While there, they’ll see the Grand Canyon, Slide Rock State Park, and an extinct volcano. They’ll cook meals together, worship under the stars, ride horses, and spend time in community. More than just an adventure, this trip is designed to help students reflect on God’s providence—both in His creation and in their own stories. The ranch staff do a phenomenal job helping our seniors see God’s hand through past seasons so they can move forward with trust and confidence in His plans.

We are so grateful for the way God is working in and through our students. Whether it’s through encouraging each other in difficult moments, serving others with compassion, or demonstrating Christ’s love on the field or court, we are blessed to witness the fruit that grows from lives rooted in Jesus.
