Southwest News

Please watch this CAI and CAL Varsity Volleyball video that features our first official Unity University presentation (a pregame chapel with CAI and CAL’s Varsity Volleyball teams and coaches).

During this chapel, these wonderful ladies accepted the challenge to grow in Christ together. They accepted the challenge to see the family of God as bigger than just the Christian players on their own volleyball teams and Christian students at their own schools. They accepted the challenge to treat their athletic opponents as fellow bearers of God’s image rather than rivals. They accepted the challenge to keep in mind that we will all be eternally, perfectly united in Heaven and are called by Christ to operate like one united team on Earth.

Psalm 133:1:
“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!”

May God’s unifying will play out among us this school year!

Director of Biblical Unity, Mr. Deon Parker has introduced a new initiative called “Unity University: Learning to Live as God’s United People.” In these sessions (ranging from 15 minutes up to 45 minutes), Mr. Parker will use engaging illustrations and a wealth of Bible verses to reveal God’s grand plan to unite with people and to unite His people (for His glory and for everyone’s good). Mr. Parker is looking to schedule 1-2 monthly meetings with various groups throughout the Christian Academy family (ex. friend groups, athletic teams, classrooms, Bible studies, teacher teams, departments, school clubs, parents, alumni, etc.).

All “Unity University” session participants will receive a free “Unity University” sticker and will become eligible to purchase a “Unity University” sweatshirt.
