Together As One is alive and well at Riverside Christian School in Washougal, Washington!
God has been busy working miracles and we have more than doubled our enrollment in the last
couple of years. Our church has opened all of its facilities to help us house our nearly 100
students! On top of pastoring three different churches and sitting on six different church and school
boards, Merrill Caviness leads our kids in chapel every Monday in the sanctuary.
Our students funnel in and out of the church entry every day, we utilize the church library and Sabbath School rooms as our classrooms and breakout rooms, church members volunteer to help with giving our teachers a break to do some planning and other church members volunteer to do the
majority of our maintenance needs.
Our students and families notice! We have many families who started attending our church because of the love and acceptance they experience at school. One of our parents, who started as a community member two years ago, was baptized during chapel. It was an incredible experience to witness, and we are so grateful for the commitment our conference has to schools and churches working together to save lives for eternity. The story doesn’t end there, however! We now have a mother and her daughter taking baptismal classes from our pastor and together, we continue to plant seeds for Jesus to grow!
