Hearts' Theme


Great music has a theme! Beethoven’s fifth symphony has a recognizable theme; that theme allows this work to be distinguished from other music. The theme is creatively woven throughout a diverse set of movements that expresses the heart of the musician. The theme may be subtle while the music builds to a grand climax that boldly highlights the theme, but its foundational importance remains.

The Mission of Christian education is our musical theme. The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ provides the inspiration for this theme. Amidst the beautiful diversity of the Body of Christ, the theme weaves Biblical Truth throughout the halls and into the hearts of our students. Step into a classroom; listen for the theme. At times, its notes are bold and clear as a child quotes from the Living Word of God. Often, it artfully provides depth and perspective as students marvel at the creativity of an author who has been made in the image of the Creator. Listen . . . its foundational strength is resonating in the hearts of our students and families from young to old.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
Colossians 3:16-17
