Christian Character
Character is defined as strength of moral fiber. A.W. Tozer described character as “the excellence of moral beings.” As the excellence of gold is its purity and the excellence of art is its beauty, so the excellence of man is his character. Persons of character are noted for their honesty, ethics, and charity. A person’s character is the sum of his or her mind-set, thoughts, intentions, desires, and actions.
It is the Lord’s purpose to develop character within us. “The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the Lord tests the hearts.” (Proverbs 17:3). Godly character is the result of the Holy Spirit’s work of sanctification. Character in the believer is a consistent manifestation of Jesus in his life. It is the purity of heart that God gives becoming purity in action. God sometimes uses trials to strengthen character: “we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope” (Romans 5:3-4). The Lord is pleased when His children grow in character. “You test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness” (1 Chronicles 29:17).
We can develop character by controlling our thoughts (Philippians 4:8), practicing Christian virtues (2 Peter 1:5-6), guarding our hearts (Proverbs 4:23), and keeping good company (1 Corinthians 15:33). Men and women of character will set a good example for others to follow, and their godly reputation will be evident to all (Titus 2:7-8).
At Faith Christian School, character development occurs in the memorization and application of Scripture, in the way that we approach our work and interact with one another - in the classroom and on the playground, basketball court, soccer field and beyond. When your child is mentored by Christian servants who are open to God's leading, Christian character development is a way of life, and it is our desire that all would come to a relationship with God and the working of His Spirit in their lives.
Prayer is an important facet of our Spiritual Life,integral to our Christ-centered environment.
We are a praying school. Our Board fasts and prays for guidance, wisdom and provision. Our administrators meet with our teachers at a time of prayer and devotion each morning. During each meeting, several students are specifically lifted to the Lord in prayer as the staff lovingly advances through the list of lives we're influencing each school year. Our teachers often begin class with prayer. Our students pray, requesting their school family to join them in believing God hears our prayers. We invite you to pray with us and for us as well.
We proudly participate in:
See you at the Pole
See You at the Pole™, the global day of student prayer, began in 1990 as a grass-roots movement with ten students praying at their school. Twenty years later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September.
See You at the Pole™ is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event.
National Day of Prayer
Faith Christian students annually join others across the nation in prayer for our nation, leaders, community, and school. We are raising up citizens and leaders who understand the importance of prayer!
The National Day of Prayer is a vital part of our heritage. Since the first call to prayer in 1775, when the Continental Congress asked the colonies to pray for wisdom in forming a nation, the call to prayer has continued throughout our history, including President Lincoln's proclamation of a day of "humiliation, fasting, and prayer" in 1863. In 1952, a joint resolution by Congress, signed by President Truman, declared an annual national day of prayer. In 1988, the law was amended and signed by President Reagan, permanently setting the day as the first Thursday of every May.
Each year, the president signs a proclamation, encouraging all Americans to pray on this day. The National Day of Prayer has great significance for us as a nation as it enables us to recall and to teach the way in which our founding fathers sought the wisdom of God when faced with critical decisions. It stands as a call for us to humbly come before God, seeking His guidance for our leaders and His grace upon us as a people.
