The following video is an update from the missionaries that shows some of the ways that our students were able to be a part of their outreach. Thank you so much for your giving and prayers.

WHY KIDS NEEDS TO SEE THEIR PARENTS SERVE by Mr. Tim Gerber, TBC Executive Children's Pastor As it relates to the home, I think perhaps one of the adages that most proves itself prophetic over time is the following ... "Children become like their parents". As a matter of fact, as the years pass by and I see old faces from the past who I haven't seen for a long time, that...

A small metal trash can had been placed at the curb with the garbage to be collected the next morning. It was empty. When I noticed it from my bedroom window I thought it looked familiar; so began the investigation. I retrieved the empty can and returned it to where my memory led. I waited. The 1960's high school shop class was apparently the groovy place to create unique...

Dear Parents, Recently I was made aware of a phenomenon that has hit social media called the MOMO Challenge. I researched this and can find little confirmation that it is a little more than an urban legend. Almost all sites that discuss it say that they can only confirm that a "friend of a friend" has witnessed the actual events. Fortunately, the team at AXIS (you may r...

Parents who send their children to a Christian school are making an eternal investment in their children's' lives. Often parents will ask, "What is the value of Christian education?" Or, "Why should I send my child to a Christian school which costs thousands of dollars a year?" Below are some reasons I would share with a parent who came to me with these questions. I pray y...

One of the tenets of Christian schools is developing a Christian worldview in students. In every subject, we strive to show students what a Christian worldview means in that discipline. In language arts it begins with teaching the student to read, write and speak so he may know God's Word, share God's truth and discern if what he is reading is aligned with God's teachings....

One of my all-time favorite quotes is, "You must prepare your child for the road, but you can't prepare the road for your child." If you've never heard that before, stop a minute and let it sink in. We all want to keep our children safe; they are precious gifts from God. We can't even begin to consider what we'd do if something were to happen to one of them. But so often a...

Our children are growing up in an increasingly post-Christian and secular society, where the public views people of faith as irrelevant. What does it mean that we live in a secular society, and how should we and our children engage with this secular culture? James K. A. Smith, professor of philosophy at Calvin College, recently gave a fascinating talk on that topic. CLICK...

The Gift of Failure A couple of years ago I was talking with a young college professor who worked mainly with freshmen in college. We were discussing ways to ensure that college freshmen are successful. In preparation for that fall, she had been told that almost one-third of all college freshmen come to college so ill-prepared that they do not survive their first year. I i...

This statement 'Finding Time For Your Child When You Have No Time " just can not be true. We all have 24 hours in a day. It's our choice what we do with our time, and who among us, does not make time for what is important to us! Before I really get into this, let me tell you a little about myself. I'm a mother of two children and a wife of a wonderful man. God blessed us ...

"For I know the plans I have for you declares The Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 If someone had told me 5 years ago that I would be sitting here writing a blog on why I became a preschool teacher I would have laughed in their face. Becoming a teacher was not in the plans that I had made for my future....

After School Care is SO MUCH MORE Than Babysitting When I was growing up, children didn't go to After School Care- just about everyone's mother was a stay-at-home Mom. We simply walked home when school was over, where Mom had our snack waiting for us. A lot has changed since then. Schools aren't built in neighborhoods anymore and traffic has increased so much that walkin...

5 Healthy Habits to Put Preschool Bedtime Problems to Rest It is no secret that toddlers and preschoolers can have interesting sleep patterns. As preschoolers get closer to kindergarten age, they will naturally begin to develop new sleeping habits. Their bodies do not need as much rest as before, but many times they don't seem to get enough. Their bodies will react to nap...

By the time most commuters begin their morning routines, Triad's Kids Kafe staff has already served preschoolers breakfast - and that's just the warm-up. The opening of the church's Worship Center/Gym last June and its large commercial kitchen, walk-in refrigerators, freezers and other equipment made Kids Kafe possible and brought food service entirely in house.Whether it...

Controversy is one of the hardships that come with being a Christian. Unfortunately, it also encompasses the majority of the field of science. We are told in James that "the trying of our faith brings forth patience," and this does not exclude controversial topics of science. One of the most familiar controversies in science is the theory of evolution. As Christians, we k...

I have noticed over the years that preschoolers bring their questions, thoughts, and worries to their preschool class with them. To help the children cope with their feelings about sensitive issuesI call them tender topicsthe teachers carefully choose books to read and discuss. You can do this with your child at home. Find the "right" book. Ask a teacher or a children's ...

"The Original Artist - In the beginning, God created" In the very beginning of time, GOD CREATED! In fact, the first thing we learn in the Bible is about His amazing creations. He wasn't reading or contemplatingHe was creating! He created the earth and everything in it. The beautiful sunrise, the glistening ocean and the melodious songs from a bird were all created b...

Whether a child is in preschool, daycare or in homecare, the transition to kindergarten can be very exciting, but stressful for children, parents and educators. As adults, we feel stress and anxiety during transitional periods, such as starting a new job or moving to a new home or a different state. We are more equipped to handle such changes because of life experiences an...

As one year draws to an end and another year begins, I am almost as excited as when a new school year begins. I know many wonderful events will occur along with some which will bring sadness and maybe even despair. But as Isaiah tells us in chapter 43: 18-19, "Don't keep going over old history. Be alert. Be present, I'm about to do something brand new." As we begin the ...

A tale of real day to day kindergarten life......

Ask anyone, student or teacher, and you will find out that I'm kind of the school nerd. I love books, which is of course a prerequisite, but I'm also curious about just about everything. The thing I've been wondering lately though is why. Why do I still love learning when so many people really don't? What did my parents do to keep that spark of interest alive in me? Kids ...
