We begin by grace through faith. God declares us righteous and gives us new birth by His Spirit. We continue by grace through faith. As we walk according to the Spirit, our faith shows itself in love, and the righteous requirement of the law is met in us. Whether the Scriptures describe it as being one with Christ, walking according to the Spirit or living by faith, depending on God—His greatness and His goodness—is the only way to live in true righteousness and holiness. Rules and regulations have an appearance of wisdom, but they are useless for stopping our selfish indulgence. Humans live from the inside-out. Our character (who we are, how we love and what we believe) determines our conduct (what we think, say and do). God loves us, makes us his children and commands us first to love Him with all that we are and our neighbor as ourselves. This love flows from the inside-out and fulfills God’s righteous requirements for his people. At Rocky Bayou Christian School, we work by faith in the transforming power of God’s Spirit to help each student become and live by grace through faith as a child of God. Each year the faculty commit themselves to the Teachers’ Pledge (adapted from Colossians 1:28-2:3): We proclaim Christ, warning everyone and teaching you with all wisdom, that we may present you mature in Christ. For this we toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within us. We struggle that your hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. When a student’s life does not show the obedience that comes from faith, the administration counsels students, helping them to identify—from the outside-in—what they have done, what they were thinking, what they wanted and who they really are. We challenge students, as the principals charge them each year (adapted from Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 3:12): Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires. Be renewed in the spirit of your minds. Put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. When a student is responsive to God’s correction, the administration uses discipline redemptively, to nurture this change in the student’s heart, mind and deed. When students’ actions show persistent hardness of attitude and unwillingness to turn to God and follow him, they stand opposed to the basic principles and purpose of the school—assisting parents in their God-given responsibility to train and develop in their children a biblical world view, Christian character, and the skills necessary to fulfill God's calling in their lives—and they will not be allowed to continue in their enrollment. 5.2 Nurturing Student CharacterFollowing through on the Bible classes’ focus on students’ heads (renewing their minds), the activities in this section focus on nurturing students’ hearts (transforming their lives). 5.2.1 Daily DevotionsDevotions each morning set the tone for the school day. The Discipleship Director, Discipleship Prefect or another mature student leads the school in devotional reading of Scripture and prayer after morning announcements. 5.2.2 Biweekly ChapelBiweekly chapel services nurture students’ love for God, their worship of His greatness and His goodness and their desire for His kingdom and His righteousness. The student Praise Band leads students in singing their praise to God, and the Discipleship Director, Discipleship Prefect or a guest speaker preaches God’s word. All students in grades 7-12 are required to attend chapel. 5.2.3 Biweekly RoundtablesBiweekly Roundtables give students regular opportunities to nurture their love for God and each other. All students in grades 7-12 are assigned to small groups, each led by a faculty or staff mentor. Mentors encourage students to build genuine Christian relationships marked by love and trust, in which they encourage and admonish each other. Each Roundtable and its mentor stay together through grades 7-12. 5.2.4 Class RetreatsThe annual Freshman and Junior-Senior Retreats help form a sense of class and school identity and challenge students to live up to the opportunities and responsibilities of their growing maturity.
