Faith Statement:  Working at a Christian school such as Orange City Christian is an honor.  The support that is received from administration, board members, and fellow staff members is very much appreciated.  I have been involved in Christian Education my entire life.  It has had a great impact on my life. As a teacher, I hope to have that same positive impact on my students. It is a privilege to work with these students to develop their walk with the Lord.
