Our Five Truths

We are Loved

John 3:16 Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.

No One Stands Alone

Romans 12:4-5 Each one of us has one body, and that body has many parts. These parts don’t all do the same thing. In the same way, we are many people, but in Christ we are all one body. We are the parts of that body, and each part belongs to all the others.

God is For Us

Romans 8:31 So what should we say about this? If God is for us, no one can stand against us. And God is with us.

Our Mess is our Message

Romans 8:28 We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. These are the people God chose, because that was his plan.

We Can Follow Jesus

Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his followers, “If any of you want to be my follower, you must stop thinking about yourself and what you want. You must be willing to carry the cross that is given to you for following me.

Element Suspension Policy

We have three expectations for students who attend Element:

1. Respect God
2. Respect Leaders
3. Respect Students

If a student behaves outside of these standards they will receive a G6 write up and we will contact the parents the next day. If a student receives a third write up they will be suspended from Element until a meeting with the parents and student can be set to work toward a solution to the issues.
