| "It is both a privilege and a blessing to be a teacher and a parent at Summit Christian School. As a parent, I am so grateful to God for this school. Christ is reflected in the teachers and staff. I still remember the warmth and friendliness that I experienced when I initially spoke to Beth Chafin, Mrs. Kemp, and the board members this past summer. First impressions are so important and I felt the presence of the Lord. During the interview process for a teaching position, I was interviewing the school. I had been home schooling my children and was hesitant to make a transition unless we found an excellent Christian school which met our needs and expectations. Our family desired to be a part of a school community that focused on the Word of God, demonstrated Biblical principles, and stressed academic excellence. Colossians 1:10 talks about walking worthy of the Lord, pleasing Him, being fruitful, and growing in the knowledge of God. It is such a comfort to know that teachers who love the Lord and strive to please God are teaching my three sons, Jacob, Anthony, and Samuel. This school is definitely very unique and worth the sacrifices that our family has had to make, especially financial. God has truly honored our commitment and decision. We have been so richly blessed. As a teacher, I am so blessed to be among such dedicated and loving educators. This faculty truly stands united for the gospel of Jesus Christ. I experienced an over abundance of love and peace every day. We also have the unique opportunity to lead others to Christ and minister to our children and their parents. There is such a welcoming spirit in this school. It is such a privilege to be a part of a school that is also a ministry. I am also blessed to have a principal with a servant's heart. Mrs. Kemp is such an example of a Christian leader with passion and purpose. I am grateful for her servant's heart and support. Also, the parents of this school are incredible. My parents have touched my heart. Their support and commitment to their children overwhelm me. I have taught in many different private schools, and I would have to rate Summit Christian at the very top. I am forever grateful to God for this opportunity. My decision to pursue the opportunity at Summit Christian and to accept the position as the Kindergarten teacher has allowed me to listen to God and obey, to love and trust God, and to lead and minister to others. Deuteronomy 30:12 states, "That thou mayest love the Lord their God, and that thou mayest obey His voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him." I cling to this verse as a parent and a teacher. I see this verse reflected in the faculty, staff, and parents. I have experienced the presence of God and his perfect will for the school, my family and me. I love this journey that the Lord has given to me." Terry Miltner, parent and teacher "I think that one of the best parts of SCS is the 'family'. By this I mean that everyone knows everyone else. I enjoyed that because if you had a problem, or were just having a bad day, you knew that someone was there for you. SCS is also one of the best places for opportunities. At SCS you go on more field trips than you ever would in public schools. Students should enjoy it now, because when they are in high school they won't go anywhere. When you're at SCS the teachers actually care if you do your work. You may think they are giving you the detentions because they don't like you, well that's not it. The teachers give you detentions because they care about you and want you to learn from your mistakes. SCS teachers want you to succeed! Finally, the most important thing you will ever get out of SCS is a true relationship with God. Students may not like to memorize all of the Bible verses, but they will help you on the road ahead. To the teachers of SCS, thank you all for being a wonderful caring family. I can never describe the thanks I owe you for the past nine years of my life." Nick Cecil, former student
