enjoyed their time at camp!
CCC Pastor / Educator Summit
While your student was off for three days last week our teaching staff was attending the Central California Conference Pastor / Educator Summit. During their time on beautiful Mt. Herman they heard inspiring & encouraging messages from: Dr.
Bailey Gillespie (HMS Richard Divinity School—La Sierra),
Pamela & Claudio Consuegra (Family Ministries Directors—
NAD), and Dr. Curtis
Fox (Counseling and
Family Sciences

Linda). The goal of
the conference was to
bring churches &
schools together in
order to better meet
the needs of our students and their families.
