Favorite Bible Verse:
1 Peter 1:6-9
In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Why send students to Living Word?
From walking these halls, seeing how the teachers here address the whole child, I can say as a parent of 3 teenagers, there is nowhere else I’d want my sons to be every day. The battle of “Word” vs. “World” gets stronger every day and this is a place where they can prepare to be servants and disciples of Christ for life after high school.
