Dear High School Families,
High school is a time when students begin to solidify their identity and faith, and it was powerful to see students boldly declare Jesus as Lord through baptism. These are the moments that define the purpose of Christian education. We are equally grateful for our staff who have faithfully invested in students over many years, building relationships that influence not only academic success, but lifelong faith. This is the BVCS Difference in action!
We would love to invite you and your family to join us for Easter services at Big Valley Grace as we celebrate the hope and joy of the resurrection together. Easter is a meaningful time for our entire BVCS community, and it’s a beautiful opportunity to worship alongside one another and reflect on the life-changing truth of Jesus’ victory over sin and death. Whether you are a regular attender or this would be your first time, you are warmly welcomed—we hope to see you there as we celebrate this powerful season of our faith.
In His service,
Cindy Alavezos
High School Principal

Serve day is coming up on Friday April 10th! This day will be a great opportunity for our high school students to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. All of our high school students will be serving alongside some of our local reach partners. This year students will be dropped off at their serve site at 9:00 AM and then picked up from their serve site at 3 PM. We are asking all students to bring a lunch. We are officially changing the name of Serve Day to Impact Day.
This year, students have the opportunity to choose which site they go to serve for the day. The sites are listed below. Below that is a link for a Google Form. Each site is limited to specific number of students. As sites fill up they will no longer be available for sign-ups.
