My son Brandon was paid a compliment the other day. Brandon works with me, and after work someone needed help changing a flat tire. Brandon happened to be leaving at the time, and he had the right tool they needed, and proceeded to change the tire. It took two men to remove the tight lugs, and he finished and left. The man that complimented me was helping also, and he said Brandon's attitude was one of servitude, and happiness. I was told Brandon had great up bringing to to develop into such a fine man. He said God was looking after them that day. I think of WCS as a partnership in raising our children. Now having almost 4 kids graduate (3 already) from WCS it has been an honor to have WCS as a partner. So it is an honor to partner as well as be there. Thank you WCS as a team of wonderful people that care for the hearts of my kids. love and respect, Kirk and Cheryl Reed Dear Bill,

To have a man who not only cares for our children. But is interested in their lives and is praying for them to see that they will grow in the wisdom and stature of Christ.I am so thankful that my children have had the opportunity to receive their education here and to have such an honorable example as yourself.

Often we long for a "smooth" paved way in this life, but many times our road is filled with turns, twists and bumps. Helping young people discover and know that in their highway of life, they can have a deep faith and assurance that God is right there with them, well that alone is worth the price of a Christian School Education! Bill,

Dallas Willard notes that neglecting to focus on discipleship in Christian community is an all too common phenomenon that he calls “The Great Omission.” In his book, Living the Mission, he writes: "For at least several decades the churches of the Western world have not made discipleship a condition of being a Christian. One is not required to be, or to intend to be, a disciple in order to become a Christian, and one may remain a Christian without any signs of progress toward or in discipleship. Contemporary American churches in particular do not require following Christ in his example, spirit, and teachings as a condition of membership-either of entering into or continuing in fellowship of a denomination or local church. . .” It is a sad, but accurate observation of The Church, in general; but I am proud that the WCS family, as part of the church universal, is committed to being obedient to the practice of making and forming disciples. Grace and Peace~ Tracy Bill~
