ADMINISTRATORS

SCCS is a thriving school with strong culture, impressive teachers, committed people, and strong faith implementation. It's a school where I would want my own children to attend...and they do! They are trained with strong classroom rigor, treasured by loving and nurturing educators, and transformed by the experiences of a Christ-centered education. My Deep Hope is to develop strong and courageous people equipped to boldly face the future as disciples of Jesus Christ.

I have been blessed to serve at SCCS in a couple different ways the past 4 years, and through these opportunities, I have seen and experienced the deep love of Christ through the community at Sioux Center Christian. When the opportunity arose to teach Kindergarten, I knew deep down that God was calling me to this position so I might continue to spread His love to the children, staff, and parents of Sioux Center Christian through being a teacher. And oh what a blessing it has been! My deep hope for Kindergarten is to foster a love of learning in students so they may learn to love others for Christ through it. As my Kindergartners grow in this love, I pray they may also grow in the story that our Creator has created for each of them and be transformed through it for His glory.




Here at Sioux Center Christian, in this little corner of God's world, it is my joy to be able to explore, play, and grow with these wonderful little 1st grade explorers! Not only have I been gifted the opportunity to teach, but every day these 1st graders teach me to explore as well. It is an absolute privilege to explore God's world together here at Sioux Center Christian.

It is an honor to foster curiosity, discovery, and deeper level thinking as I help students connect to Christ, community, and content through our learning. It is my Deep Hope for students to see themselves as capable learners who feel loved, understood, and valued as an integral part of our classroom. I serve at SCCS because of integrity of its staff and faculty, and the ways we strive to meet the needs of our students. I see the hands and feet of Jesus daily.


I choose to work at Sioux Center Christian School because it is a school that embodies faculty and staff who reflect what it means to be disciples of Christ. They strive to encourage the student body to learn more about God's creation and their role in the world around them. Every year I try to find ways to connect with each student in order to help them realize that it is okay to be different and to embrace the differences God blessed them with. My deep hope for my students is for them to trust God, see Him, and follow Him wherever He leads them.








I choose to serve at SCCS because of the Christ-centered education and the opportunity to see students grow in all areas of life! I love the welcoming environment and supportive community here. My deep hope is that reading will help us better understand our role in God's story, and I enjoy being able to approach every book we read with that mindset. God's presence is evident at SCCS, and learning alongside my students in this atmosphere is a blessing and a privilege.

I choose to serve at SCCS because I am able to explore — with students and fellow colleagues — a theme that is central to my life, and in turn my classroom: “Open my heart to Your story as I enter into others' and share my own.” Whether we are actively seeking Abba Father’s heart or not, His story is all around. Therefore, by His grace, through Jesus, and with Holy Spirit’s power, we get to more deeply know and love Abba Father. We then get to experience how God is working in and through each other. Writing is one medium, and school is one area of life, that we get to keep asking and practicing, “Open our hearts….”



I choose to serve at SCCS because of its mission and the people! I love middle school students, and I love teaching them every day! My deep hope is that we are ready and willing to take risks and face challenges for which God has equipped us. I know that math can be a struggle for some students, and it is not always their favorite, but I encourage my students to use the gifts God has given them to persevere through tough problems. Teaching math allows me to help students learn how to be problem solvers and see God's order in creation.



SCCS is a place where the heart is trained & transformed along with the mind. I see evidence of this in my own home as I hear my kids singing praise songs that they learned here. I appreciate that I can freely share my faith in Jesus and that other teachers are pointing kids to him as well. I also like the relaxed & encouraging atmosphere that students and staff share.


My Deep Hope is to guide SCCS students in their emotional, social, and faith journey. I am so excited to be a part of the SCCS family! After many years in the public school, God has placed me here to continue to collaborate with a wonderful staff as we minister, educate, guide, and care for our youth. I am available for social and emotional needs of the SCCS students. Relationships are my priority with Christ as my greatest resource. Please reach out if needed.

As the Director of Faculty Development, my Deep Hope is to help foster in teachers a continued love of learning and growth. Our dedicated faculty pour their best into designing learning experiences that invite, nurture and empower learners living in God's Story. My role is to support teachers in that work through professional development closely aligned with the Iowa Professional Development Model and the mission of Sioux Center Christian School.


I am in my first year at SCCS and I knew the minute I walked in the doors that it was going to be a great place! SCCS is a place of compassion that is fully driven to live out our Christian beliefs! My hope and vision for my students is that the minute they walk through my door, they feel calm, and that they matter.



I choose to serve SCCS because I feel passionate about helping students grow to meet their fullest potential, while guiding them in seeing God’s hand in every area of life. Every student that enters this school was designed by the Creator with value for a purpose. I love being amongst fellow coworkers who love God and love their students. My deep hope is that we would appreciate how God made each one of us unique individuals and learners, and that we would celebrate our own growth and the growth of those around us.

My deep hope is that everyone feels valued and loved so we can confidently use our gifts to serve others. This is what motivates me to serve as a learning center teacher in middle school. I believe God has a purpose for all His children and has given us all gifts to use in His service. It is my desire to help middle schoolers claim this promise and confidently become the person God wants them to be.
