Spiritual Life
Our goal at SURGE Christian Academy is to nurture spiritual growth within each student. To that end, we have regularly scheduled times of sharing in God's Word as well as times throughout the day when spiritual principles are integrated within lessons and other activities.
SURGE Christian Ministry faith-based activities bring students together for special times of worship, teaching, and singing. In addition to school staff, ministry leaders from the community at large participate in these special times. Indeed, it is important that students involved in Christian education also attend spiritual worship activities on a regular basis. Indeed, active involvement provides a necessary complement to the Biblical instruction received in school.
One of the unique purposes SURGE Christian Academy is to prepare students to constructively service and honor Christ in whatever career they choose. Since effective Christian service can be performed only by those who have dedicated their lives to Christ, SURGE Christian Academy desires that each student develops a vital, personal relationship with God through faith, and ask all students to measure their lives by scriptural standards of conduct.
Each student should understand that attending SURGE Christian Academy is a privilege granted to those who are willing to demonstrate a spirit of Humility, Love, and Wisdom with the goals and philosophy of the school. By applying for admission to SURGE Christian Academy, the student indicates a desire to become a sincere, cooperative family member of the student body.
We believe that self-discipline and spiritual growth are never a result of superimposed rules; these goals can be attained only when students and their parents make the achievement of these attributes a priority. Therefore, SURGE Christian Academy standards of conduct are designed to serve only as an external guideline for student behavior; our ultimate hope is for students to grow into a fuller level of Christian maturity. To produce a school culture and environment which will encourage these goals, SURGE Christian Academy expects every student to be open and willing to be instructed by the school staff, and to demonstrate by attitude and behavior a life committed to following Christian ethics and morality. Certainly, character education is a priority at SURGE Christian Academy and involves the entire school community – school leaders, parents, teachers, staff, and students. Our collective effort is to focus on shaping the hearts of our students as we endeavor to instill biblically-based, positive ethical values, such as caring, good manners, respect, responsibility, fairness, and honesty.
