Dear Staff and Faculty,  

We hope everyone pauses today to give God extra thanks for allowing us once more to send our students home well-tended. During the past 26 months of what previously would have been unimaginable circumstances, our Lord granted us the energy and skill to meet our students’ intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. 

We know that everyone has worked hard this year. Today, though, we ask you to consider an important but mostly unseen group of fellow employees. These hidden heroes have continuously shouldered extraordinary loads through nights, weekends, and holidays for more than two years. They have been on the front lines, taking care of our sick, ensuring safe temporary housing, transporting thousands of meals, and calming worried parents and students.  

Please view this video recognizing these exemplary servants, whose work has enabled so many of us to do our own work with limited interruptions for our students, for each other, and for Christ and His Kingdom. 

Grace and peace, 

COVID-19 Leadership Team
