Christian education
I See People
At RCS, we train students to be academically prepared, boldly Christian, and globally prepared. To be boldly Christian and globally prepared means, in part, to see individuals and the world through the eyes of Christ. The RCS focus on service and missions gives students the opportunity to walk in Christ’s compassion in places students would…
Team Player
This past week in an RCS academic cabinet meeting Psalm 127:3 was shared: “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him.” We talked together about the blessing of working with every family’s greatest treasure–their children. I was reminded of a devotion I had written and published in the book Devoted Parent:…
Diversity & Belonging
As many of us may know, February is Black History Month. At Resurrection Christian School, we like to not only focus on the amazing contributions of our African American culture but also, celebrate the unique contributions from many cultures. There has been a lot lately in the news and our society generally about diversity, equity,…
Affecting Culture with a Biblical Worldview
Developing an education that trains students to see their lives through the lens of biblical truth is vital to the mission of RCS. In Acts 17:17 we read about Paul in Athens; “So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened…
The Works of the Lord
Over the door of the Cavendish Laboratory for physics on the campus of the University of Cambridge is the inscription “The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.” It is a bit strange for a public university building built in the 1970s to have the words of…
Why Be a Part of a Church Family ?

School involvement, sports teams, and other extracurricular activities may keep families away from the church, especially if children attend a Christian School. After all, our children are surrounded by other Christian kids and…
Reflections on the Life & Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.
This past week was an important time for us as Christians to stop and reflect on the legacy and the work that God has done through the life of Martin Luther King Jr. This legacy and work must continue with us into the future. While Dr. King used a number of different Scripture references throughout…
How Neverland Prepares Your Child for the Real World
When you’re a child you long to stray from the real world just as much as adults do, but you’re far more capable of creating imaginative scenarios that allow you to. Unfortunately, the time to live in Neverland, rather than the world we live in, is getting diminished. More than ever there is an emphasis…
How Criticism Too Early May Alter How Your Child Interprets Emotional Information
The continued development of psychology has illuminated interesting ways in which the brain reacts to its own hormonal changes, especially in children. It’s totally fascinating to find out how your child’s brain processes information and how they adjust based on environmental factors and what little details they pick up. As the parent, you have the…
Helping Your Teen Build Better Relationships
As our children grow older, they face many difficulties. They have to figure out who they are, what their purpose is, and work hard to not fall for peer pressure. In our current society, being a teenager is hard. They are exposed to a lot through media and peers and are expected to stay true…
