Fulfilling God’s Purpose: Teachers Moving on to Their Next Calling

Submitted by Teresa Hendren in RCS Highlights on June 07, 2021

As the 2020-21 school year comes to a close, we get to celebrate God’s faithfulness, reflect upon what we have learned, and recognize the ministry of the RCS faculty, staff, and administration.  We are thankful for God’s calling multi-talented men and women to minister at RCS, who provided the best education in the Bay Area during the most extraordinary year.  With patience, creativity, and a great amount of perseverance, RCS classrooms continued, students and families were served to the best of our ability, and our community pressed on to fulfill God’s purpose.  

God’s call to minister at RCS is always for a purpose and when the purpose is fulfilled, God provides a new calling.

To those who have received a new calling, you “are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10, ESV).  May God continue to bless your ministry and guide your path.  We know that your new communities will be greatly blessed by your ministry.  We are praying for safe travels, smooth transitions, and we hope to see you again!  We will be forever thankful for your legacy at Redwood Christian Schools..

To the RCS community, it is important that we recognize, congratulate, and commission the following RCS servants who have faithfully responded to God’s calling to new areas of ministry.  Please join us in celebrating the dedication and faithfulness of their ministry and also praying for God’s blessings on their next calling!
