SCCS: Teaching from a Biblical Perspective

 Children’s Ministry Pastor Ken Kistler of Crossroads Community Church in Valencia and his wife Lynn first enrolled Ewan and Tate at Santa Clarita Christian School over five years ago.
The Kistler family had a strong desire for the boys to attend a school that taught from a biblical perspective.
“My wife and I talk about this a lot,” said Ken. “Our kids are at school six hours a day, five days a week. If our kids can learn about history, science, math, football and basketball from a biblical perspective, that matches what they get at home and church, that’s a big win for us. That is the biggest differentiator. The cost of tuition is worth it to us.”
Ken and Lynn also place a high value on the families that Ewan and Tate are interacting with at school.
“When the boys go to a birthday party or spend the night at their friend’s house, I find comfort in knowing those families tend to have the same biblical perspective we have and that their parents will not only point their kids towards God’s truth, but also my kids,” said Ken. “The more people the boys are around who love Jesus and want to serve Him, the more likely they will want to grow up and serve Him as well.”
The Kistler family appreciates the diversity in churches that are represented at SCCS, as well as the strong, family community and friendships they have made.
“Every year I would go on the 8th grade Washington D.C trip,” said Ken. “I have spent a lot of time with many of the dads on these trips. Some of my best friends I have in my life right now I met through SCCS and all of them go to many different churches around the valley.”
At SCCS, students character is paramount.
“Each time I have received a report from one of Ewan or Tate’s teachers about their behavior, the teachers have always dealt with it in a biblical way,” said Ken. “They partner with us and walk alongside us each and every time. They truly care about their character. To me that is priceless.”
Ewan and Tate are now in the 6th and 8th grade and are thriving.
