People often ask me to define what is different about TCS ... I always find myself searching for words which do my explanation justice. How can I convey what keeps me moving forward with the same passion I had when I started teaching here 20 years ago. It is our differentiator........
Tri-unity Christian school is NOT a 'me-too' christian school! Oh, we offer the same core classes every other school offers. We have students who 'forget' their homework and don't study. And there is the occasional discipline problem .....However, what speaks most strongly to my heart is the tangible over-arching presence of the Holy Spirit in the entity we call Tri-unity Christian School.
Last week I had the pleasure of 'informally' interviewing an alumni of TCS. She said (and I am paraphrasing), when she was at TCS she felt like she was in a bubble - albeit a good bubble. She went on to say her plans were to graduate, leave town asap with an ultimate goal to travel and teach in another country. However, the influence in the 'good bubble' has brought her back home with a desire to teach at her school and influence others for Christ.
The tangible presence of the Holy Spirit is evidenced everyday by a teacher praying a blessing over a class, a secretary who stops to lay hands on a small child or a parent who says' Lord pick me for such as task as this'... and then there is a fifth grade class who earned money for their Kids Feeding Kids program and donated $500.00 of it to help provide water in Haiti.
I am not sure these few words even begin to quantify the essence of daily life in 'the TCS bubble' of the Holy Spirit. What I do know unequivocally is the presence of the Holy Spirit and the opportunities we accept because of Him, differentiate us from all the rest.
He will teach us of His ways and we will walk in His paths .. Isaiah 2:k KJV
