Developing Character Witnesses of Christ
To become true followers of Jesus, students must first gain a deep understanding of who He is—they need to know Him. Legacy’s Bible courses are designed to provide a strong foundation in the teachings of the Bible, focusing on the nature and character of Jesus, the qualities of His people, and the mission of His Church. By the time students transition to middle school, they will have a clear understanding of who they are following and what it means to be a disciple of Christ, setting the stage for deeper exploration of biblical principles.
Welcome to Legacy Preparatory Christian Academy! As the Dean of Students, I want you to know that we are here to support you in every step of your faith journey. Our goal is to create a space where you can grow, connect, and experience God’s love in a meaningful way.
Whether you’re new to the faith or have been walking with God for years, we want you to feel at home here. We offer a variety of opportunities to get involved, including small groups, service projects, and special events, all designed to help you build lasting relationships and deepen your relationship with Christ.
If you ever have questions or need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. We are here to walk alongside you and cheer you on as you grow in faith, purpose, and community.
Sincerely,
Steve Svendsen

At Legacy, we hold monthly chapels for both elementary and upper school students, creating a special time for worship and spiritual growth. Each chapel features dynamic speakers who are invited to inspire and encourage our students in their walk with Christ. These speakers bring fresh perspectives and powerful messages that challenge students to grow in their faith, strengthen their relationship with God, and live out their beliefs in their daily lives. The chapel experience fosters a sense of community, unity, and spiritual development among all students, allowing them to connect with God and each other in a meaningful way.
Legacy provides a variety of service opportunities that grow alongside students as they develop their character. Elementary students are introduced to different charitable organizations through monthly chapel services, while upper school students can participate in SALT, a program dedicated to service activities each semester, and take part in summer mission trips.
Additionally, Legacy hosts an annual school-wide family service event called Hineni, a Hebrew word meaning “Here am I,” symbolizing complete availability. The goal of Hineni is not only to foster community within Legacy through service, but also to express gratitude to the businesses and churches that have supported us, demonstrating our appreciation in a tangible way.
As students progress from elementary Bible studies into Discipleship courses, they delve further into God’s Word. They gain an overview of both the Old and New Testaments, study the history and leadership of Israel, and begin to explore the core tenets of a biblical worldview. Students also learn about the origin and formation of the Bible, discovering how it has been consistently validated through archaeology, history, and science.
In grades 8-12, students engage with more advanced Bible study tools, empowering them to explore and answer life’s toughest questions. Each course is built around an in-depth study of the Bible. Students compare the biblical worldview with the leading humanistic worldviews of our day and begin to view relationships and social issues through the lens of the Bible. Ultimately, students will recognize that the Holy Spirit guides us as we abide in Christ.
