At Big Valley Christian School, leadership isn’t a title — it’s a testimony. Every week, students and staff alike model what it means to follow Christ in everyday life. Whether in classrooms, chapels, or on the court, we see faith lived out through worship, service, and community.

It Starts with Worship

“What a tremendous Grandparents Day! We were so blessed by the powerful songs sung — you could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit! To witness the joy on every child’s face in every grade was such a blessing!” — Elementary Grandparent

Grandparents Day was more than a performance — it was worship in motion. Through every lyric and lifted hand, our students became worship leaders, reminding all of us that praise is both an expression and an act of leadership. Each song pointed hearts toward Jesus and reflected the joy of children who know and love Him deeply.

Spiritual Leadership Beyond the Classroom

Our athletic field and gym is a mission fields too. As one referee recently shared that the volleyball team looks like a team. They’re well-behaved, respectful, and clearly led well.

Even those outside our community are noticing God’s favor upon BVCS — a culture where teamwork, discipline, and kindness reveal something greater. On the court and in the stands, our students model humility, unity, and joy that speak louder than any scoreboard.

Faith in Learning

In preschool classrooms, even playtime becomes a moment of discipleship. One teacher captured a beautiful scene: children rocking baby dolls while singing their chapel song about baby Moses.

At BVCS, faith isn’t a subject we add on — it’s the framework through which learning happens. Every lesson is an opportunity to teach both hearts and minds, reminding students that God’s truth touches every area of life.

Discipleship in Action

This fall, staff members have stepped up to fill every gap, cover classes, and encourage one another — serving with grace and joy. It’s a picture of teamwork rooted in faith and love.

And it’s not just adults modeling discipleship. One of our senior boys has been meeting with a freshman during lunch to offer mentorship and prayer — quietly demonstrating what it means to lead through service and care.

At BVCS, discipleship happens in hallways, lunchrooms, and moments between classes — wherever hearts are willing to listen and students are willing to be discipled and disciplers.

Community Rooted in Faith

From families rallying in prayer for those facing cancer to the joy shared at Homecoming and Grandparents Day, BVCS continues to embody a spirit of togetherness that reflects the body of Christ. New staff often describe the community as “unlike anywhere else”…where prayer, encouragement, and genuine care are woven into the rhythm of each day.

Leadership here isn’t about position, it’s about posture. It’s a community leaning in, praying together, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder through joy and hardship.

A Living Testimony

From the youngest voices in chapel to the oldest teammates on the field, BVCS students are learning what it means to lead from within. Their faith is growing, their influence is deepening, and their example reminds us that the most powerful kind of leadership is rooted in Christ and revealed in everyday faithfulness. The true measure of Christian education isn’t what happens in the classroom, it’s what carries into the world.
