ESM: ENRICHMENT, SERVICE, MINISTRY
purpose
ESM week is designated for our 7-12 grade students to choose and participate in various “ESM” opportunities. The goal of ESM is provide spiritually integrated opportunities for students to “Enrich”, “Serve” or be involved with “Ministry” (ESM) as part of enhancing the student’s exposure to service and following God’s call for them.
Objective
Emmanuel Christian’s mission is “To serve as a Christ-centered learning community that exists to educate students of Christian families and prepare them for God’s calling”. Building opportunities outside of our school building during the course of an academic year gives students a chance to see outside of their own world while reflecting and praying about God’s leading in their lives.
Participants
ESM Week is for students that are enrolled at ECA. Parents of the enrolled student will have the opportunity to sign up as well. Other family members (grandparents, siblings, close relatives) must be approved by the lead teacher and ESM director. Trips are not open to friends or other student age participants that are not enrolled at ECA.
