Faith & Service
Elementary
Bible Buddies
Each year, PK3-5th grade students are matched with a secondary Bible students - their “Bible Buddies.” Elementary and secondary teachers plan fun, Bible activities for the buddies to do together. Some months, students meet in the elementary building and other months in the secondary Bible classrooms. This is a time-honored tradition that has helped to build relationships and reflects our TCA family atmosphere. Students love to meet with their buddies each month and talk about God’s word.
Field Trips
We love our field trips at TCA! Kindergarten-5th graders enjoy exploring museums, exhibits, performances and nature as they leave campus together. Each class may take up to two field trips per semester. Teachers also plan an additional mission trip to a local ministry in order to allow a place for our students to serve others in Jesus’ name. Parents are always welcome to attend all elementary field trips.
Mission Projects
Mission projects and service to others in Jesus’ name are the backbone of TCA. Since the school began, teachers have been planning mission opportunities for their students. From collecting coats and mittens for the homeless to preparing lunches for needy children and serving at local ministries, each class participates in at least one mission trip a year. This is a meaningful time for students to apply their Bible knowledge and show God’s love to others.
Center of Hope Canned Food Drive
TCA participates in Parker County’s food bank program, Center of Hope. Twice a year, students bring 5 cans of food to be donated to Center of Hope. We keep a yearly graph of the number of cans donated. Students get so excited to see how much food they can give to needy people in their community.
Spiritual Emphasis Week
In the elementary building, the week before Easter is Elementary Spiritual Emphasis Week. Elementary enrichment teachers help to coordinate activities during the week. A special Easter emphasis is chosen each year. Enrichment teachers plan hands-on fun activities to reinforce the theme. During chapel, there is a lesson concerning the week’s emphasis. Spiritual emphasis week is a wonderful time to prepare our hearts for the Easter season.
I-Care Week
One week in the spring semester, each school grade is assigned specific items to bring to collect to make care packages for area children that participate in Center of Hopes summer camp named Camp Hope.
Chapel
We have chapel each Tuesday morning as a way to meet together for a cooperate worship time. During elementary chapel, PK-1st graders meet at 8:30-9:00 and 2nd-5th meet from 9:10-9:40. Chapel is a special service in which we pray, sing songs, and hear an age appropriate Bible message. Each year, teachers choose a yearly Bible verse. Then, themes from the verse are used as chapel topics throughout the year. We enjoy area speakers, class skits and teacher lessons during chapel. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend chapel with their children.
