This winter CHCA invites anyone in our community to "Perspectives," a fifteen-week discipleship course designed around four vantage points or "perspectives:"
The Biblical and Historical sections reveal why our confidence is based on the historic fact of God's relentless work from the dawn of history until this day.
The Cultural and Strategic sections underscore that we are in the midst of a costly, but very "do-able" task, confirming the Biblical and Historical hope.

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

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.

2017-2018 Topic:
This year we will study the Gospel of Matthew. 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.
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!
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?

Text to Pray
Start your day with a Prayerful Word
The Text2Pray (T2P) initiative invites our CHCA community to receive a prayerful verse, blessing your morning routine and connecting you with hundreds of others also in prayer. Our PTF Spiritual life team sends the prayerful verse every Monday and Thursday morning that school is in session and is about 155 characters long. An example:
Father, in all our work and even in our play, please guide our actions so that Your light shines and causes others to give praise, thanks, and glory to You. Matthew 5:16
