Father's Group (Saturday AM)
Join us to study material from Christian video series focused on fatherhood and manhood, book studies, and topical Bible studies. We will start with R.C. Sproul's “The I AMs of Jesus” which will complement the CHCA Women’s Bible Study series currently happening.
The goals of this group are:
- Create and build a sense of community among the fathers of CHCA students
- Establish a culture of accountability that will help each of us in our walk with Christ
- Introduce Christ and His precepts to those fathers who may not be too familiar with the Christian faith
- Enhance our working knowledge of the Bible and how it applies to us as Christian men and fathers
- Exchange ideas and personal experiences that will aid each of us in being better men, fathers, and husbands
- Collaborate and interact with members of other CHCA fellowship groups such as the Friday morning Father’s group for various outings and service projects.
In accomplishing these goals, we become better examples at home, and as we develop and refine the characteristics of a godly man, we can lead the way in further shaping and growing the culture both at home and at our school. This group opportunity promises to be challenging, thought-provoking and bond-forming.

The Principal's Study (Daytime)
Why should your kids get to do all the learning?
Our students get exposure to challenging Biblical teaching on a daily basis. If you’ve ever wanted to delve deeper into the Bible the way your kids do, join CHCA Upper School Principal Dean Nicholas for an informative and thought-provoking look at the stories that shape our faith (and some you may never have heard before).
Dr. Nicholas spent eleven years teaching high school Christian Studies classes at CHCA before being named principal, and frequently teaches an
"Israel in the World"
Isreal in the World
honors class. His degrees tell you a bit about his background: a BA in theological studies and ancient languages, an MA in the Old Testament (both from Wheaton College) plus a master’s in Hebrew and a Ph. D. in the Bible and Ancient Near East (both from Hebrew Union College). This breadth of knowledge means Dr. Nicholas is able to share the historical context of events that happened long ago but still have meaning for our lives today. Plus, having taken multiple trips to Israel, he can add geographic texture and help us understand the culture.

2019-2020 Dates:
When: Wednesdays from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. Dates are on the main website calendar and begin 01/30/19.
Location: Check in at the MSL High School Office then proceed to the Simpson Innovation Space (2nd floor, elevator available).
Lead by: Dean Nicholas, Ph.D, Upper School Principal
2018-2019 Topic:
This year we continue studying the Gospel of Matthew. 01/30/19 will be a recap through Chapter 14. The Principal’s Study is open to all parents (not just parents of Upper School students). Bring your Bible. Each study stands alone so join at any time as we explore God’s word!
The Gospel of Matthew is referred to as the "Jewish Gospel," it was written to early Jewish believers who followed Jesus, making the case that He was the long awaited Messiah. To build his case, Matthew reuses Old Testament passages in new ways. We will study the life of Jesus, the unique structure to Matthew’s telling in comparison to other Gospels, and in the end, be challenged as we consider again how Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament Scriptures.
Previous year's topics include:
- Western World Religions and Eastern World Religions
- Christian Thought and Spirituality (a survey of the junior Christian Studies course)
- Old and New Covenants (a survey of the freshmen Bible course that covers Genesis through Gospels)
- Minor Prophets
- Origins and the Bible: What does Scripture really say about Creation?
- The Gospel of Matthew
