Catching Rabbits

Today our panel discussed the next two sections of our parent's pledge; prayer & presence. WCA's Parent's Pledge

Today, our panel takes a closer look at the importance of partnering well with parents as we work in concert with one another not in conflict.   WCA parent’s pledge

Today kicks off a new series where the panel discusses the common WCA illustration of the 3 legged stool.  Our desire is to work in harmony with both parents and churches in order to train the affections of our students to love what is good, true, and beautiful.

Today the panel begins exploring what Jesus says is a blessed life by diving into the beatitudes. Jesus’ message is not only counter intuitive, but also counter-cultural. Focus Text: Matt. 5:1-6:18

In this episode our panel will explore how God's Old Testament design for the universe was to rule as King through His image bearers. However, these flawed image bearers rejected this sacred calling and chose to do was right in their own eyes.  The Book of Matthew draws our focus to look at Jesus as not only the perfect King but also the one who bore God's Image perfectly.  Jesus' life...
