  • Our first day of Orientation closed with a shared meal, prayerful moments, and the Twining of the Ivy tradition — a symbol of unity in Christ and the beginning of a new journey together. Though families said their goodbyes for now, our new Beacons are stepping forward into a future rooted in faith and community! We can't wait to see our Beacons engage in all there is to come during Orientation weekend!

  • Every summer, several of our students serve as counselors at Christian summer camps. At Grove Christian Camp in Dorena, Oregon, our Beacon reps poured into the lives of campers, leading with a heart for Christ, and sharing the hope of the Gospel. We’re grateful and proud in the way they’re living out their faith beyond campus, as well as fostering connection and friendship. Way to go! @grovechristiancamp
