Current Students - Lord, help WCS to ensure our students are fully equipped to
spiritually and intellectually engage in the increasingly secular world.
Equipping students is a daunting task—the enemy’s tactics are many and varied.
And he doesn’t just use ideas; he also uses circumstances. What’s a teacher to do?
Where does one begin? With the truth, of course.
“Your Word is a lamp unto my feet”—a guide for the next step.
“Father, sanctify them through your truth; Thy Word is the truth.”—obedience to the
Word is transformational.
“Wield the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”—the only weapon of
attack.
“Meditate on the Word, day and night; and you will be like a tree planted by the
rivers of water”—it builds steadfastness, fruitfulness into a life.
“All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable . . . that the man of God may be
adequate, equipped for every good work.”
All truth is God’s truth. Every science class is a Bible class. Every history class is
a Bible class. Every English class is a Bible class. The more the Christian student
knows, the more he or she can form relationships and the more they will then be
equipped to give an answer as to the hope that resides within them.
How do we equip students? By immersing them in God’s truth in every class they
take. “Let the Word of God dwell in you richly.”

Current Families - Lord, would you strengthen marriages, give wisdom in parenting,
provision in finances and health, and enable us to reflect Christ.
To understand the importance of the family, you just need to reflect on our
increasingly secular society’s insistence at redefining it. And, of course, to redefine
something is to completely change it into something else—something entirely
different. Worthington Christian Schools rest on the beauty and strength of the
family as defined by God Himself. Worthington Christian Schools will be no stronger
than the families they serve, who in turn serve the school. And all of the families in
and of themselves form a spiritual family—interconnected and interdependent. We
need a total commitment to each other, an unflinching loyalty to the cause of Christ,
and a total engagement in the solving of those inevitable problems that arise within
the school family and the individual families that make up that body. Our
compassion, our comfort, our energy, and even our resources must be lavished upon
our families in times of need. That will create and confirm the unity that glorifies
Him. No child comes to school and leaves at home the influences of his or her
family. And that should be a wonderfully uplifting thing—that should be our strength.
