Boys to Men Bible
Study
In college, Mr. Lange had
several men pour into his
life – helping him understand how God made men distinct, in His
image, and God looked at all he created and said that ‘it was good’!
(Genesis 1:31)
The influence these men had on Mr. Lange’s life prompted him to
start a ‘Boys to Men’ Bible Study at PCS, to help our young men
come to understand what it looks like to be a godly man, created in
His image. He and Mr. Burgstahler meet with 30-50 7-12th grade
PARK CHRISTIAN SCHOOL young men weekly during lunch to discuss and study questions
surrounding men and masculinity through the book of John.

Reason #535 why we love K-12th grade in one school!
Recently, one of Mrs. Jost’s 3rd grade students came into class quite distraught. The student had dropped the snack
and was crying. Mrs. Jost attended to the student. Once the student was calm, they walked into the hallway to see
how they could clean it up. The snack was completely cleaned up. They saw Mr. Tofibam’s cart near the bathrooms,
so their first thought was that he had cleaned it up. As they approached him to thank him for taking care of that, he
said, “Oh, it wasn’t me. Kyler Card (12th grade) had stopped what he was doing and cleaned up the mess before I
could get to it.” Kyler is the E.T. for Mrs. Jost, so she thought it was extra special that he noticed, watched out for the
student, and cleaned up a mess in such a caring way!! “WOW WOW WOW!! It was a day brightener for ME and turned
my student’s day around too”, said Mrs. Jost.
Junior High retreat 3
PCS 7th & 8th graders had a GREAT Jr High retreat at
Inspiration Point Christian Camp & Retreat Center. Two days
of singing praises to the Lord, enjoying Biblical teaching,
God-honoring fellowship, Spirit-filled time of meditation and
reflection, and Christ-exalting prayers. We are grateful for
this kick-off to the year for our 7th and 8th graders.
