2017 Eagle’s Eye Volume 21 Promise Statement Centered in the shared love of Christ, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy is the college-preparatory, preschool through grade 12 independent school that inspires and challenges students to discover, hone, and steward their one-of-a-kind gifts as they come to know themselves as distinct and unconditionally loved creations of God. CHCA’s vibrant, multi-denominational family of learners creates a sheltering—but not sheltered— environment where, supporting each other and guided by expert Christian teachers, students wrestle with increasingly complex, timeless, essential questions in order to strengthen their minds and their faith. Beginning with the end in mind, CHCA graduates young adults fully prepared to succeed in college and beyond; to engage effectively and lovingly with different cultures, viewpoints, and ideas; and to achieve significant impact and influence with discerning wisdom, courageous curiosity, and resilient Christian faith— where others pull back, they lean into life.

Simply stated, when we grow in relationship with others, we grow closer to Him. When I ask families what makes CHCA so special, a majority of answers always include the word, “community”. When I ask graduates what made CHCA so special, the resounding answer is “the community I experienced”. As students walk across the stage at graduation each year, I look upon the audience, and I see a community. Community is a thread that binds each of us together in a unique way, whether we walk into the doors of CHCA each day or whether we’re ministering halfway across the world. Each year, we’re presented with countless opportunities to come together to learn, grow, give, pray, serve, celebrate, and give thanks as a community. This past year was no exception, and some of that you will see highlighted in this edition of CHCA’s “Eagle’s Eye”. Of note was the First Annual Alumni Showcase last spring, when our alumni returned to share their talents, wisdom, business insights, and more with our CHCA seniors, and among each other. The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit is present whenever two or more are gathered together (Matthew 18:20). It is our plan and prayer that we take advantage of many more opportunities to come together as a community. Community is life giving, and it is essential to following Christ. Scripture also tells us that is because we are better and stronger together than we are alone (Romans 12:4–5). I challenge each of us to think about how we might contribute to making this community we call CHCA stronger, better, and more faithful than ever before. Invite a new family for dinner. Organize a family hike. Bless a large family with dinner or dessert. Have dinner with an old friend or past teacher. You will find within the doors you open and among the community you feed, that will be the very thing which brings you closer to life as God intended. Blessings, Randy Brunk, Head of School 1
