It is with thankfulness that we have been able to celebrate an incredible start to the new school year at Byron Center Christian School (BCCS). We started the 2023-2024 academic year with our focus on a shared mission of providing an excellent education which is rooted in God’s Word in order to prepare our children for lifelong service to Him. It is a blessing to lead our children to both See the Story and Live the Story through our storyline for this year. We are also guided by the words from James 1:22a, where we are called to actively live out what we read in God’s Word:
But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. - James 1:22a
Our students and staff, both returning and new, have embraced each day with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a passion for learning that is inspiring. Students’ eagerness to see the story grow both academically and spiritually is a testament to the nurturing environment cultivated by our staff. Our exceptional team has continued to seek the high academic standards and faith formation that we strive for at BCCS. Their unwavering commitment to our children is a cornerstone of our success and a great blessing.
I must express my heartfelt appreciation to our supportive parents and community as well. Your trust in our school and your active involvement in your children's education make a significant impact on their growth and success. Your partnership and support are invaluable. Our united commitment to faith and service is evident in the numerous activities and initiatives that have already taken place this year.
As we look ahead, we anticipate many more exciting opportunities for growth. We will see growth academically and spiritually through our existing and new programs. We will also see growth in enrollment again next year, and our need for additional space is becoming urgent. Our commitment to Christian education at BCCS and our belief in the potential of every student will continue to guide us in our commitment to serving the children and families in Byron Center and beyond as we live the story together.
Here at BCCS, we are excited about the journey that lies before us and the positive impact that we will make as a school community. We will carry this momentum forward with the knowledge that God's grace is with us every step of the way as we follow His lead. Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to Byron Center Christian School!
Serving Him,
