School Theme: Celebrating God’s Faithfulness

This year’s theme verse is Jeremiah 29:11-14a

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD…

This is the beginning of Living Waters Christian Academy’s 20th year. We want to look back and honour the faithfulness and goodness of God to this school. Living Waters was started by parents who wanted a Christ centred, Bible based education for their children. It is not easy to start a school. Those early families made many sacrifices as they committed their time and finances to build a school.

Schools are not just buildings and as the vision for Christian education became more widely known the school grew over the years. Our mission and vision remains the same and our desire for our students is that they would grow closer to the God who has a good purpose in mind for them. All Truth is God’s truth and our challenge is to put God in the centre of all our learning, our goals, and our priorities.

God is faithful to keep his promises and as we look back at the past 19 years we see the hand of God building the school as a community of people who want to follow Him fully. We are called to be a grateful people because we have a good and faithful God.

Biblical Integration 

Because we believe that all truth is God’s truth we want our students to understand the reality expressed in the Bible.  Biblical integration means that we identify the Big Picture truths of scripture and link their relevance to topics of study within the classroom. John Piper wrote, “to remove God from the centre of education is to be profoundly undereducated.” The Bible reveals God’s interactions with the world and we understand the curriculum more profoundly when we use biblical truth as both the foundation and framework for developing a functional worldview.

We hope that our students will reach a deep understanding of God’s truth so that they can take that truth, in a formative and active way, into whatever vocation God has gifted them to perform. Armed with a biblical worldview they become redemptive agents, influencing godly change in our community, our country and our world.
