Welcome!

Approval is an awesome thing.  According to Webster's 1828 Dictionary to approve is to like, to be pleased with, to admit, to show to be true, or to justify.  Recently Christ Covenant School received the final approval from the AdvancedEd Accreditation Society, which is the gold seal of approval from the educational community.

 

While we may have proved to their team of inspectors, or proved to the community, or proved to ourselves that we could meet the standards of an external committee; our ultimate approval comes from the Lord.  "Playing to an audience of one," and desiring His approval above all is the truest and safest measure of success.

 

As we move forward as a community that loves, educates and equips our students to transform the world for Jesus Christ, we will continually remind these students and ourselves that God's approval is a wonderful assurance that comes from the gift of His Son.  "We are accepted in the Beloved," and as many accolades and awards that the world may offer our way, the best prize is to hear Him say, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

 

Bless you,

 

Robert Lee
