Spiritual Emphasis

Retreats
Just as Jesus went to the mountain to spend intimate time with the Father, so we, too, provide the opportunity for our secondary students to embrace a unique atmosphere to connect with the Lord at our Spiritual Emphasis Retreats.

Why we invest in retreats

Our goal is to cultivate fellowship between classmates in a relaxed and enjoyable Christian environment, drawing them closer to Jesus and to one another.

These retreats are intended to help our students encounter God in a special way that will positively influence transformation in their hearts and minds throughout the school year and beyond. We take them away from the normalcy of everyday life to experience “the mountaintop.”

We also have a ton of fun playing amazing recreation games. We divide the students into teams that compete for the grand prize champion t-shirt.

When are they, and how often?

Spiritual Emphasis Retreat is a three-day, school-sponsored getaway that takes place twice a year (fall and spring). In the fall our emphasis is on looking forward to the coming school year. In the spring, we look back to see all that God has done through His presence in our lives.

Student Feedback

2023-24 Theme:

Everybody wants to be genuine. To be known as REAL. And yet we are so afraid of the conviction of authenticity that we hide behind makeshift masks and walls and personas that aren’t true or lasting or good.

So as the world around us embraces the evil of illusion, we choose to stand firm in the immovable truth of the Word of God, vowing to be genuine unto Christ Jesus. We will not get lost in the wasteland of a counterfeit life; instead, we will choose to GET REAL in the pursuit of holiness.

Theme Verse

Romans 12:21

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

ABOUT US

OUR VISION

To be the top school choice of Central Coast families where biblical education is instilled and Christian leaders are raised.

Our Mission

To partner with parents in preparing students to serve God in all of life by providing excellence in the spiritual, academic, social, and physical aspects of education.

The dream has become a reality

In 1977, the Lord moved in the heart of a generous saint, Reuben Kvidt, to donate 27 acres of beautiful Pismo Beach land with the express desire to build a thriving Christian school. In 2024, that dream is a reality, and it’s Time to Build!
