January at BVCS: Faith, Formation, and a Place to Belong

2026-01-05T11:00:21-08:00

January always feels like a reset. Fresh pages. Fresh goals. Fresh questions about where we’re headed—and who we’re becoming along the way. At Big Valley Christian School, January is also a time when we intentionally re-center on what matters most: faith, formation, and belonging—all grounded in Christ. We make SURE we are on mission to nurture and equip our students to impact the world for Christ! Faith That Shapes Daily Life Our students don’t just learn about faith—they live it. Through chapel, prayer, Scripture, and discipleship, January invites us back to the heart of why we exist: helping students walk closely [...]

2026-01-05T11:10:32-08:00

December carries a different kind of rhythm. There is excitement, reflection, celebration—and a holy pause as we remember the true reason for the season: the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior. At Big Valley Christian School, December is a time when faith is not just taught—it is felt. A Season of Hope The Advent season reminds us that God entered the world with purpose and promise.

November at BVCS: Grateful for What God Is Building

2026-01-05T11:05:31-08:00

November invites us to slow down and take notice. In the middle of busy schedules, full classrooms, and packed calendars, this season reminds us to pause and reflect—to recognize God’s faithfulness and give thanks for the work He is doing in and through our community. At Big Valley Christian School, gratitude isn’t just a feeling—it’s a practice. Gratitude for Growth We are thankful for students who are growing academically, spiritually, and relationally.

Leading from Within: How Students Impact the Spiritual Life of BVCS

2025-10-28T04:18:09-07:00

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 — [...]

Why We Chose BVCS: Real Alumni Stories

2025-09-29T11:17:33-07:00

We recently asked our alumni to fill us in on how they are doing. One couple in particular stand out as they talked about their journey…Their story always circles back to the same foundation: the Christ-centered education they received at BVCS. Since graduating, they’ve built a life together, welcomed their first daughter in 2024, and stepped into careers and callings shaped by the values instilled in them as students. “The BVCS family gave us a foundation of faith that carried us into marriage, parenting, and our professions,” they shared. They are not alone. Across the country, BVCS alumni are thriving in [...]

Each year, God continues to bless Big Valley Christian School with teachers and staff who are more than employees—they are teachers, mentors, and disciples, called to serve the next generation. This fall, we are especially excited to welcome a group of new staff members who come to BVCS not only with talent and passion, but with deeply personal journeys that reveal God’s hand in leading them here. From alumni who have returned home to teach, to church members who have felt God’s call through prayer, to families who joined our community first as parents and then as staff, each story reflects [...]

Remembering God’s Kingdom First

2025-04-22T12:41:20-07:00

A few years ago, the BVCS staff received a powerful reminder from one of our very own Big Valley Christian School Board members: always remember to put God and His Kingdom first. This simple yet profound message resonated deeply, and we wanted to share an excerpt of that inspiring email with you today. The board member recounted the joy of spending extra time with four of their grandchildren who attend BVCS. These moments offered a beautiful glimpse into their lives and the impact of their learning environment. From a fourth grader reciting Romans 12:12, showcasing their engagement with scripture, to a [...]
