Missions Learning & Church Attendance
Here at NCS, we believe God has called us to live both in community and in service to others. Our core values, character, integrity, discipline, and respect flow directly from that calling. We know our students lead very full lives and often face tough choices about what to be involved in. But isn’t that part of what life itself teaches us? Learning how to prioritize what matters most is a valuable lesson for every season of life.
It is very important to us that our students and families understand the heart behind this initiative. It is not about legalism, nor is it simply a “box to check.” Instead, our goal is to help shape and train our students for the life that Scripture calls us to live - an authentic life that honors and pleases Christ. My prayer is that these opportunities will form habits and values that last well beyond their years here. I invite you to join us in supporting and encouraging our students as they step into this meaningful journey.
We are deeply grateful for the Christian community that surrounds our school each day, yet we also know that a Christian school was never meant to replace the church. If that were the case, our students could graduate without being firmly established in a lifelong Christian community. That is why we place such importance on connecting them to the local church and to rhythms of service and worship that will sustain them far beyond their high school years. I often say, “If people only knew how much thought and prayer goes into ensuring that students are equipped not just for today, but for life 15 years from now, they would be surprised.” Our hope is to partner with you in planting those roots deeply, so that students leave here not only well-prepared for college and career, but also grounded in Christ and in His church.
Church Attendance
We believe that regular church attendance is vital to the spiritual growth and discipleship of every student. Our hope is that these practices not only strengthen each student’s faith, but also deepen their love for the body of Christ. Worship and service together create a rhythm that reminds us of God’s goodness and shapes hearts to follow Him more closely. Through this expectation, our desire is to walk alongside families with both clarity and grace.

Community Group Service
Participation in Serve Days, contributing at least 4 hours of service in our city. Students who miss these days will need to make up the time. -

Mobile Serve
To make it easy for students to stay on top of their opportunities for growth and service, we have purchased an app designed especially for this purpose. The app will be loaded onto each student’s iPad and students will simply create an account using their school email address. Our teachers have already been trained on how to use it and are ready to help if questions come up, especially their Bible teachers, who will walk alongside them in this process. We’re excited for this tool to be a practical and encouraging way for students to track their experiences and celebrate their progress throughout the year.
We are so grateful for your support as we work together to raise a generation of young men and women who love God, serve others, and live with integrity. Thank you for encouraging your students to embrace these opportunities with joy and purpose.
