Spiritual Emphasis

As a unique Seventh-day Adventist community, we intentionally create meaningful experiences and diverse opportunities for our students to meet Jesus.

 

We work closely with the Marietta SDA Church pastoral staff to give students opporunities to learn, to serve, to share, and to lead. Through daily classroom worships, weekly pastoral visits,weekly chapel programs, service projects, and community outreach--Jesus is central to everything we do.​

 

Infused in everything we do is character education--we want our students to have a clear picture of what it means to be a true Christian in this world---following Jesus' example in standing/speaking up for what is right, treating everyone with respect and compassion, and sharing God's love in simple but profoundly-impactful ways.

 

Every year we challenge our students to go on a spiritual journey with us. In a five year cycle, we delve into various aspects of fufulling God's will for our lives.

​

2025-2026: We build our lives on the firm foundation of God’s promises to us as outlined in the Beatitudes. Matthew 7:24 - 27: Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock…

 

2026-2027: We continue by teaching the core tenants of servant leadership such as being encouraging, listening, being respectful, and making the right choices. Matthew 20:26 Whoever wants to be a leader among you must first be a servant...

 

2027-2028: We dive deeper by seeking Christ first by actively practicing gratitude, obedience, meditation, and continued dialogue with Him.

Matthew 6:33 - Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

 

2028-2029: We will lead students to the next logical step, to challenge them to answer Christ’s call found in Ephesians Chapter 4, verses 1-6, where we are challenged to live lives worthy of His calling to share HIS LIGHT. 

 

2029-2030: We will enter the next phase of our journey to grow servant leaders who share God’s love with our community–and beyond. Our theme of spiritual emphasis will be based on Matthew 28:19: Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

 

At Carman, we desire to make the choices that will ensure that we are worthy of His call so that we may Go Ye THEREFORE… and share HIS LIGHT with everyone we meet!
