We've Been Expecting You!

This summer, my family spent a week visiting some relatives in Michigan. When we arrived, it was apparent that our hosts had been expecting us. Full of love and hospitality, they received us with joy and anticipation. Just about every detail of our stay had been prepared, from daily excursions to reserved times for relaxation. 

I am reminded of a time in the early church when God orchestrated a divine appointment between the apostle Peter and a Gentile named Cornelius (Acts 10). Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, Cornelius called together his relatives and close friends in anticipation of Peter's visit. Peter shared the Good News of the Gospel, and Cornelius and his family and friends received salvation and were promptly baptized. 

This past spring and summer, our CCS Leadership Team has connected with hundreds of families interested in joining our Crosshill community. Our team has committed ourselves to listening to God's direction for the mission of training disciples. Nothing is more fulfilling than encountering families who have been looking for this community that God has directed and developed. When sharing our mission and campus with such a family, I often think to myself (and exclaim), "We've been expecting you!"

We are excited to welcome around 95 new students to our student body this fall. These families are attracted to the school's mission and to its current families! We are working and waiting with great anticipation, expecting a fruitful school year as our community gathers this fall.
