For the past few years, we have been using themes that give students a solid foundation in their faith. Coming from RE: NEW, ON THE ROCK, and FULL LIFE, we have journeyed through themes that root us in faith. This past year, our focus shifted outward with THE JESUS WAY, reflecting the natural progression of a life transformed by Jesus—one that moves toward others in love and service.
We spent last year exploring what it means to follow THE JESUS WAY in all aspects of life, while being rooted in our relationship with Him. Now, as we look ahead, we want to deepen that journey by embracing the all-encompassing nature of the Gospel message with the theme Good News People: Living in the Fullness of the Spirit.
Because of Jesus, there is Good News for our hearts, minds, bodies, souls, relationships, communities, and our world! We want to see students being so transformed by the Good News themselves that it drives them to be bearers of the Good News to others and the world around them. True transformation is only possible through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. As we dwell in the fullness of the Spirit, we are empowered to become Good News People—living testimonies of God’s love and grace, ready to share that Good News with the world.
2025-2026 Theme: Good News People: Living in the fullness of the Spirit
Theme Verse: Our theme is inspired by the passage of Luke 4:18-19 NIV: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
