In 2 Timothy 2, the Apostle Paul calls us to be “In Christ to Instruct.” He describes three unmistakable movements for this to unfold in our lives. First, we must Learn to Teach. Second, we must get the Word into our Words. Third, we must connect Heart to Heart. This represents the academic experience at Lakewood Park Christian School. Teachers, administrators, and families all work together in community to achieve the same vision: shaping difference makers in Christ.
