8 Minutes with Your Best Friend (Jesus Christ)
Middle School students at TKCS begin their day in God’s Word. This time of personal Bible study allows them to focus on their relationship wi th Jesus Christ by hearing from God (as they read His Word) and talking with Him (through prayer). Each student receives their own, quarterly Bible Study Journal which allows all the students to be studying the same passage on any given day. Students are encouraged to journal and to spend time later sharing with others the truth God has shown them.
NATIONAL JUNIOR HONOR SOCIETY
Selection Procedure to become a member of the TKCS chapter of the National Junior Honor Society
The student’s academic records will be reviewed by the Faculty Council to determine eligibility.

Each candidate’s scholarship, leadership, service and character will be evaluated by the faculty. All forms will be reviewed by the Faculty Council.
