Merry Christmas
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6

Year End Message – Making a Lasting Impact
Dear TC Community,
Here at Turlock Christian our mission is to prepare students for life, not just during the present, but also beyond their time here. We strive each day to prepare our students in faith, knowledge, and truth. We call this endeavor creating a legacy, both for our students and our school. In the Bible, Proverbs 22 talks about training a child in the proper way and when they are older, they will not depart from the way of their training.
Our community cares deeply about the legacy we are creating for our current students and the students that will come to Turlock Christian in the future. Each of us hopes that we will be able to echo the words of 3 John 1:4, “I have no greater joy than to hear that our children are walking in the truth”.
It is during this time of Thanksgiving and Christmas that we can reflect on the legacy we are creating and want to leave for future generations. As we approach the end of 2021, we each can have the opportunity to be generous with our resources as we consider how richly our Creator has blessed us. In the US we are encouraged to be even more generous in our charitable giving during this time of year because of American tax laws.
During this time, would you consider a special gift towards the legacy of Turlock Christian? Here are a few areas where your gift can make a lasting impact.
