    I have the unique opportunity to catch a glimpse of our mission in action across both campuses and all divisions -- and I love sharing those insights with you!  Below is a collection of observations, musings, and educational insights all gathered in one place.  My hope is that these articles are informative, challenge us to think about a Christ-centered education, and spark conversation. I look forward to seeing you around campus and at events and always enjoy our ongoing dialog!

They drive us, impact how we act and interact, and guide our decisions.

  • What has such an important impact on our organization?
    Glad you asked! That describes the concept of Core Values.  Core Values are deeply ingrained principles – cultural cornerstones, inherent, never compromised for convenience, personal impact, or monetary gain. 

    Here at MBCA, we have clear mission and vision statements, but had never specifically defined or articulated the core values that influence how we act, interact, and make decisions.  After many months of work and collaboration with all constituencies, including staff members and families, to identify these important characteristics, we have formalized our MBCA Core Values statements. These are the fundamental principles or beliefs that guide our organization’s behavior. I’d love to hear how your experience at MBCA parallels the values below – tell us your stories and let’s talk further about these all-important concepts. 

    We have chosen six keywords that identify our MBCA Core Values. You may notice that the first letter of each spells an acronym that’s not only easy to remember, it reflects the ethos of our community: FIRE PiT.  Like a fire pit where friends gather around a fire to share experiences together, we gather around these core values with a commonality of purpose. Here is our final list that reflects who we really are at Mt. Bethel Christian Academy.
