A combination of theater and persuasive speaking, mock
trial contests develop analytical and critical thinking skills.
Competitions also provide continuing education about the
American judicial system.
“The tournament was very well run, and I really appreciated
the participation by Trinity students,” said Scott Roelofs,
Timothy Christian coach and social studies teacher. “It was
fun for us because we had all the private league schools
there; it was sort of like a league championship.”
The Law and Politics Society challenges students to
formulate vibrant, biblically-based concepts of politics and
law while fostering a view of citizenship that stems from
civic virtue. Members critique current legal and political
events from the biblical standards of justice, righteousness,
mercy, and compassion.

Auction 2006
More than 200 people enjoyed a delicious catered dinner
and an evening of fun entertainment with friends, and raised
almost $60,000 for the school. Thanks to everyone who
helped make this evening a success. Whether you attended,
helped organize or donated items, your contribution was
very important and we appreciate your support of Christian
education at Timothy Christian Schools. Incidentally, we
now have a mustache-less high school principal as a result
of the auction. (Thanks, Mr. Rinsema!)
