圣经Distinctives
We believe that the richest curriculum prepares students for the real world. The Eastern 基督教 graduate is prepared to be a person of 基督教 vision and influence who seeks to renew all creation for God’s kingdom. It is our goal to produce 基督教 leaders in every field so that EC graduates can transform the world for Jesus Christ.
圣经课程
我们东部 基督教 上学是有原因的. The Bible is at the heart of everything we do. Our entire curriculum is taught from a Biblical perspective. Every student studies the Bible as an academic offering. But the Bible goes far beyond the Bible class. We teach and model a 基督教 world and life view for our students. The means that we view everything through the lens of scripture. As a school with Reformed DNA, we seek to engage the world with our 基督教 worldview for the Kingdom of God. For more information on the Bible curriculum on each campus, please view our course catalog and curriculum guides.
服务学习 & 任务
Faith is most concrete when it is put into action. Our students are challenged to live out their faith through age-appropriate service learning opportunities. For our preschoolers, this means a trike-a-thon to help raise money for St. Jude’s childhood cancer research. Elementary school students raise funds to support local and global ministries. Our middle school Make-a-Difference (MAD) program works in local communities to tackle issues like poverty and disability. 给我们的高中生, service learning includes fundraising, 当地的工作, and opportunities to serve local and abroad to address issues of global poverty, 教育, 还有人权.
行动中的信念 (FIA) is an opportunity for students to serve as the hands and feet of our Savior through middle school and high school.
有所作为 (MAD) is the service learning component of our middle school program.
基于项目的学习 (PBL) is the primary service learning aspect of our elementary school program.
任务 opportunities at EC are provided primarily through our Cross-Cultural Perspectives and Service class.
敬拜
Chapel is probably our favorite weekly activity. It’s the only time each week that the entire campus is together in the same space. After a time of praise and worship, 客人牧师, 青年牧师, or EC faculty deliver a Biblical message to the students. 父母 and family friends are welcome to worship with us anytime!
Chapel at Eastern 基督教 高中 is a time when the student body and faculty come together as a community for a time of spiritual growth and focus on God. Chapels are organized by the Bible and 敬拜 class under the direction of faculty. 父母 are invited to attend any of our chapels. We just ask that you check in at the front office upon arrival.
Each academic year our chapel worship and small group discussions are shaped by a biblical theme. 每周, Scripture is at the heart of our corporate chapel worship and our alternating small group discussion groups. 公司教堂礼拜, which typically begins with Scripture and prayer followed by singing and a message, alternates every other week with student led small group discussions the following week. This small group time every other week allows our students to dig deeper and apply God’s word with their peers.
Upper 小学 chapel is held every week. Chapel worship includes prayer, singing and a message based on our spiritual theme or core values as well as opportunities for students to take on leadership roles. These roles may include sharing a reflection on Scripture from personal quiet time, praying during our chapel service, or helping to lead the praise time.
父母, grandparents and friends are always welcome to join us for chapel.
