We are very excited to share our school verse and school storyline (formerly known as theme) for this year. Teachers, staff, and students partner to select the verse, storyline, and a visual representation that will provide an important focus for the school year. The verse is Hebrews 12:1-2 and the storyline is “Fixed On Christ, Living His Story.”

Hebrews reads: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

The verse serves as a Biblical call to focus on God’s Word. “Fixed on Christ” promotes a rhythm of looking to scripture and standing firm in truth. We were also intentional about using the word “story.” Each student, family member, and staff member is living a personal journey within God’s redemptive story. While we each discover our individual abilities and passions, we seek to engage in God’s story, for His glory. Our deep desire is to invite our students into that journey of discovery and engagement. Their learning should lead to a deeper understanding of God's story and also inspire action and service. Christ was the ultimate example of how to live, and we want our students to also be empowered to live like Him.

The storyline will guide school chapels and middle school small groups, but will also connect well with each individual classroom. Teachers will display storyboards so students can visually connect everyday learning to God’s larger story.

Let the excitement ensue! Consider how BCCS’s 2021-2022 storyline might also encourage your family and children to fix your minds on Biblical teachings and find ways to engage in God’s story!
