Events & Announcements
As Christians we are to be the hands and feet of Jesus and are called to help each other practically and spiritually. In order to live out this scripture we need to have Awareness and Availability.
Awareness: When we become more aware of others’ difficulties and circumstances, this can result in a greater capacity for compassion, a more caring understanding, and the deeper engagement of empathy no matter who they are.
Availability: Helping people may not be convenient, but a faith community thrives when we make time to be there for those around us.
22 Days remaining for the Class of 2022
Our time together for 22 minutes of prayer, worship, and message of Biblical Truths each morning has been so powerful and encouraging.

New Information about connecting with the Counseling Team!
As we grow in numbers, we are still dedicated to meeting the needs of each of our students in a personal and meaningful way. In an effort to ensure that we are providing high quality communication and counseling services, we would like to utilize a different form of communication from now until the end of this school year. We would like for all counseling department inquiries to be sent to TCSCounseling@tcslions.org. This will allow us to collaborate more effectively and ensure that none of our students 'fall through the cracks' as we experience God's blessing of growth in student numbers. Thank you for partnering with us as we journey into God's best for Trinity Christian High School.
National Day of Prayer (5/5/22)
CHAPEL
At TCS “Christian” is our middle name because Jesus Christ is in the middle of everything we do. He reigns over us. He is the Foundation beneath us. He is the Example before us. He is the One beside us. And, He is the Power within us. We are a school who advances the kingdom of God on our knees one prayer at a time. Our leaders pray. Our teachers pray. Our staff prays. And our students pray. This year for National Day of Prayer (5/5/22), our students in the Chick-Fil-A Leadership Academy took over the chapel stage and led the school in worship and prayer. They led our hearts to join the nation in Prayer. Thanks to KC Lorow for his leadership and for the student participants in the Leadership Academy.
Be in prayer for Abigail White, Kendall Wells, Nolan Newberry, and Hollyn Robertson who will be our “Senior Moment” legacy speakers next week in chapel.

College and Career Day
College and Career Day was well attended and extremely informative for our student population. What a wonderful time for students to connect and collaborate with potential colleges and universities and also learn about some of their favorite careers! Please take some time to ask your student about their experience at the college fair!
What’s Happening in Class:
FACS (Family and Consumer Science) students are not only learning about child development but having real life hands-on experience working with preschool and kindergarten children, helping them learn. These "lab" days have been so successful that the preschool and kindergarten teachers have asked us to continue coming. A miracle happened the other day when one little preschool child who never participates in physical activities was running and jumping and participating like never before when the FACS students were in the classroom!
