10th Grade

Your Child’s Phase
The phase when “everyone else can . . .”, “nobody else has to . . .”, and one resolute teen will push you to answer, “Why not?”
Tenth graders are expanding their life experience.
You’re hoping to get through this phase with as few crises as possible. But they will push the limits. They will question you. They might even rebel a little—even though you never did.
Every tenth grader wants to know, “Why should I believe?” So, your role is to MOBILIZE their potential.
There are 156 weeks until graduation. DON’T MISS IT.
Spiritual Focus
During your child’s school year, Victory Family Church will go in-depth in February on a biblical principle during services. This isn’t the only time they will learn about this topic. We are just emphasizing the principle during this period. The subject is determined based on their age, stage of development, and what’s culturally and socially relevant.
The Power of Prayer
Prayer, in its simplest form, is a conversation with God. God delights in having a conversation with us. It brings Him much joy when we include Him in our lives. But prayer is also a powerful tool. We hope that your student can confidently expect their prayers to be answered, and that there is no sickness, disease, or wicked scheme of the enemy that can stand against the mighty name of Jesus!
