Why We Love

Our students are Christlike! Lots of things are important in our school - our academics/athletics are wonderful. We are training this next generation to be Godly and our goal is Godliness. We are here because we are the bearers of light in this darkness that surrounds us. We are salt and light. I love serving The Most HIgh God.

The first day our oldest attended Union in K4, I was nearly in tears as they said the pledge of allegiance to the U.S. flag, the Christian flag and the Bible.

In the 13 years I have taught high school Bible, I cannot think of one day I dreaded coming to school. And anyone that knows me knows why I come and why I love it so ... the students. It doesn't matter how much we adults study God's Word, or how many theologically-sounding phrases we can quote, in my eyes there is no one who can interpret Scripture any better than a teenager. When God opens that young heart to receive His pure words, and they turn around and share that word with...

Our oldest son, Casey, has been at Union Christian since K-4. My wife Jennifer and I have been very pleased with the experience at Union in not only academics but in the social activities and Christian atmosphere as well. In addition, the school's willingness to think outside the box is another strong point in its favor. I was very happy to see Union become involved in the BEST (Boosting Science, Engineering, and Technology) Robotics program this year. I have been involved with BEST...
