Community Service/Missions
In fulfilling one of our core values: “A heart to change the world - Christian education that is not mission-centered will never be mission-driven”, the administration works with the faculty to develop opportunities throughout the year to move our students outside the walls of the school and out into the community.
We follow a model from Acts 1:8: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” We provide service opportunities for our middle school and high school students to minister to and “disciple” the elementary students through tutoring, reading, etc., to coordinate all-school mission projects such as food and toy drives, to adopt a local elementary school, to work with a community mission partner in the San Antonio housing area, and to participate in mission trips to the Rio Grande Valley by working with a partner church.

Christian education that is not mission-centered will never be mission-driven. Ultimately, our goal must be to change our world by changing young lives. Like God spoke concerning David, we must remember to affirm to our students that “man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart" (1 Samuel 16:20). Although we may desire to produce successful executives, doctors, pastors, engineers, and business people, our primary goal must always be clearly evident. Our focus is to bring about positive, productive change for the sake of the kingdom of God through the lives of students, alumni, and their families. “Every Eagle student is to learn to be a servant leader… Every Eagle student is to be inspired to be a warrior for Christ.” These statements are more than slogans. In short, all aspects of school life must exist for the purpose of reaching and changing the world for the glory of Christ.
