A Message from Amanda

To my CCSC friends and family,

I have never loved nor felt so connected with a group of people I will forever call my family. As most of you know, I have been at the CCSC from day one of my college life. God has done wonderful things through the CCSC and through the people I have grown to know and love. I have been able to see myself and so many others grow and become the children God created us to be. 

I have been blessed to travel to Africa two times, laugh, worship, cry, pray, and share so many incredible experiences with all of you. It’s all possible because of Christ and His love and good grace that flows through the CCSC. 

Sadly, I will not be returning to the CCSC this school year. I have accepted a job as a Head Start teacher in Russellville. As most of you know, I am crazy about kids and my passion and love for them is where my heart truly is. I know God has blessed me with the gift of teaching children and loving them unconditionally. 

I will miss working with the girls, the students of ATU, and with the CCSC staff as a whole. The support and love I have been given over the past several years is something I will never forget and will always hold dear to me. The CCSC will forever be a home to me and the people will always be family. 

Please be praying for me and for my students, as I begin this new journey, and begin working in this new mission field that God has placed before me. I will be praying for all of you, for this new school year, and for God to be present and changing the lives of every student on the ATU campus! I love you all!
