Service Hours and Graduation Requirements
Service hours should be submitted on letterhead from the place of service, including the student's name, number of hours completed, and the start and end dates of service. A copy should be kept for personal records, and the original should be turned into the counselor. Florida Academic Scholars/Bright Futures requires 75-100 hours. There is not a service hour requirement for graduation.
Victory with Honor: Student-Athlete Code of Conduct

Partnering with Parents
Effective youth ministry involves partnering with parents, not judging them. Imperfect youth ministers and imperfect parents can all be used by God in the lives of students. Recognizing the allure of moralism, it's crucial to continually preach Christ crucified.
Gospel-Centered Ministry
Gospel-centered ministry can thrive through authentic discipleship, community engagement, and the unchanging power of Christ. The gospel gives us the freedom to admit everything isn’t okay, and reminding our children of this truth is a gift we can give them.
