A Note From Pastor John

Happy New Year! I trust that you and your family had a great Christmas and a happy New Year and were able to relax and enjoy your break. I don’t know about your family, but my family enjoys taking a little time at the beginning of each New Year and talking about some goals- specifically spiritual goals. We talk about the past year, but really spend time looking forward to the future.

I love that about the New Year; it feels like a fresh start! Perhaps some of you enjoy that as well- a fresh start and focusing in on the future. I’m not talking about your typical New Year’s resolutions- you know, those goals that last only until January 3rd. I’m talking about ideas that you have put thought into and require a plan to accomplish those goals throughout the year.

We, as a staff, are in the midst of this process of setting goals as a school. We have been setting our eyes on the future of AVCS and looking toward what God may have in store for us. I am so excited with what God is doing now and can’t wait to see what He will do in the future. Even as I type this letter, there are four new students planning to enroll in the next couple of weeks! God is good! In October, God provided an opportunity for us to work alongside a consultant who is going to give us a report of possible ways to increase enrollment and donations. He has already interviewed a number of families, and we look forward to the results of this study.

Paul talks about “straining toward what is ahead” in the book of Philippians, and I totally agree with that. We are excited for the future of AVCS and continue to praise God and ask for His continued provision and blessing on our school!
