My formative educational experience happened under the guidance of teachers and an institution that had an abiding faith in God and the the transformational power of Jesus Christ.  I would deeply appreciate the opportunity to allow my faith in the revolutionary power of the cross to inform and infuse all aspect of my teaching practice.  I seek to emulate the fine example made manifest in the lives of the teacher that taught me at CJIMS.  I believe this is the kind of ministry that God has interwoven into the fibers of my very being.
