September is already here and we are hitting our stride at Brazosport Christian School! I have been talking with many of our teachers and students and there is a very positive outlook on campus as we are now in the full swing of things. One of the exciting points of emphasis has been the gazing upon the God of Bible as a faculty, and then passing what we see to our student body.

Our admin team has been working through Knowing God by J.I. Packer and one of the things he really emphasizes early on in this book is the importance of relationally knowing God even as you dive into the Bible and learn about God. Packer stresses a vital truth in the first two chapters: it’s not enough to simply learn about God—we are called to know Him personally and relationally. This truth is foundational to our mission at BCS. As we pursue academic and spiritual growth, we seek not only to grow in knowledge about God but to grow in relationship with Him.

The English Puritan Stephen Charnock (1628–1680) put it this way:
“A speculative knowledge of God, without the heart’s engagement, is a barren thing.”

Please join us in praying for the students of BCS. Specifically, pray for those who have not yet come to saving faith in Christ—that God would open their eyes and hearts to the gospel. And for those who already know Him, pray for continued spiritual growth—both in their relationship with Christ and in their understanding of the truth revealed in Scripture.

Here’s a powerful reminder from Scripture about the impact Jesus has on the sinner who turns to Christ and comes to know Him as Savior and Lord:
Philippians 3:7–8
“But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord…”

May this be the heartcry of the students at BCS this year!

As always, let’s behold our God together and rejoice in the privilege of knowing Him—made possible through the saving work of Jesus Christ.

The first few weeks of the school year are behind us at Brazosport Christian School, and it’s already clear that the Lord is moving in powerful ways among our students and staff. The hallways are alive with joy, our classrooms are filled with learning, and our chapel services are rich with biblical truth. It’s a blessing to witness!

As we begin this school year, we’re intentionally focusing on the character of God. This pursuit has already proven to be both humbling and deeply encouraging. Our desire is to see students not only grow in knowledge but also strengthen their walk with the Lord.

Charles Spurgeon once said, in a sermon he preached at the age of 20:
“The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy, which can ever engage the attention of a child of God, is the name, the nature, the person, the work, the doings, and the existence of the great God whom he calls his Father.”

We invite you to join us in this pursuit—to grow alongside your children in your knowledge and love of our Creator. Imagine the impact of dinner table conversations where families not only talk about the events of the day, but also about the attributes of God!

Here’s a powerful reminder from Scripture about the role parents play in shaping the faith of the next generation:
Deuteronomy 6:7
“You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.”

You’ve got this! Let this be a year where your family grows stronger in what the Bible says about God and also in your personal faith in Him.

Let’s behold our God together,

BCS Elementary Missions will continue our partnership with the Brazoria County Dream Centers KidFuel program. This ministry provides Brazoria County school children with much needed food each weekend. Items will be collected as a chapel offering each Wednesday. A table is set up in the PreK/elementary wing where students can place their offering before or after chapel. All items need to be easy to open (pop top), without a can opener, and ready to eat with no cooking required. Students can donate as many items as they wish each Wednesday. Let us join in this community effort to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those in need.

Hey BCS Family,

This is a very exciting time of year for each of our families as we launch into the Fall Semester! Our staff has been praying for you and your children to have a season of revival in your walk with the Lord. It has been on my heart to set our gaze upon God throughout this entire school year. Each term we will be focusing on a different theme that will help us to accomplish this goal:

Term 1- He Is God
Term 2- We Are His
Term 3- For His Glory
Term 4- Proclaim His Name

Our teachers are working through a study throughout the year which highlights the attributes of God and our administrators will be reading Knowing God by JI Packer. I strongly believe that when we see God for who He truly is, as clearly portrayed in the Bible, our worldview will be greatly impacted. Psalm 19:1 says “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” My heart’s desire is for our administrators, staff, teachers, students and parents to have that as our aim this year.

John Piper said this in his book God Is The Gospel:
“The ultimate good of the gospel is seeing and savoring the beauty and value of God. ‘Behold Your God!’ is the most gracious command and the best gift of the gospel. If we do not see Him and savor Him as our greatest treasure, we have not obeyed or believed the gospel.”

Let’s behold our God together this year!
