From The Interim Head Of School
Have you ever noticed when something is repeated often enough one of two things happens? It either takes root or it becomes a cliché. "Developing servant-leaders to honor God, love others and walk in Truth" is embedded in the MPCS experience. You'll read that missional statement in many of the articles in this issue of Wingspan Each day, each experience, each lesson and each chapel are designed to translate this mantra in the lives of our students in meaningful ways that is more than a platitude or overworked phrase. Life is breathed into every day in all aspects of the community we call Mount Paran Christian School.
Nowhere is that more evident, and nothing makes us more confident, than to hear the mission lived out in the lives of our alumni. While you may have given passive attention to the alumni notes at the end of the previous issues of this magazine, I encourage you to read and discover once again, as I did, how this mission is being translated beyond the walls of our school to a hurting world by the many former students who continue to call MPCS home.
Our mission is more than a cliché and is taking root – and for that we are grateful to God who birthed it in us many years ago. He is faithful!
Blessings,
David Tilley, Ed. D.
