The Christian life isn't about following rules to earn God's approval. It is about loving Jesus so deeply and trusting Him so completely that OBEDIENCE becomes our natural response. Love leads to TRUST. Trust leads to OBEDIENCE.

Why the COLLIE? The Border Collie is known for its intelligence, focus, discipline, and responsiveness. It's always watching. Always listening. Always ready to respond. That is the picture of biblical discipleship.

OBEDIENCE is not the way we earn His love. It's the evidence we love Him. The more we know Christ, the more we trust Him. The more we trust Him, the more we naturally obey Him.

Theme Verse:
"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments."
John 14:15

This year, students will discover what it means to:

• SIT - Learn to be with Jesus.

Before Jesus calls us to action, He calls us into relationship. Time in His presence shapes every act of obedience that follows.

• STAY - Learn to remain faithful.

Faithfulness is revealed in everyday obedience. Following Christ means standing firm when culture changes, friendships are tested, or circumstances become difficult.

• GO - Learn to live on mission.

Jesus sends His followers into the world to make disciples. We are called to step out in faith and obedience, carrying the gospel wherever He leads.

We are trying to raise a generation of students who love Jesus above everything else, know the voice of thier Shepherd, remain faithful when life becomes difficult, and willingly go wherever God calls.
