 Ephesians 3:16-19 (NIV) ". . . that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God."

SAT Information

A sign-up list will be posted on the Middle/high School bulletin board if any student in 10th-12th grade are interested in a general SAT Prep Class. Tentatively, the class would be after school, two hours a week for six weeks. The class will depend upon demand. 

                        **I only have two students sign-up at this time** 10-6-08

 An exceptional website that covers every area of the college process from registering for the SAT and choosing a school to financial aid information is www.collegeboard.com. This site also provides SAT test prep information. Another site I recommend is www.proprofs.com/sat/ . This site offers a FREE tutorial on the SAT.
