Strengthening Connections: How Ecclesiastes 4:12 Inspires Family, School, and Church Bonds

The verse Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, "A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." This simple yet powerful image reminds us that strength comes from unity. At LCA, this idea shapes how we view the relationship between family, school, and church. Each plays a vital role in supporting young people, and when these three come together, they create a strong foundation that helps students thrive. One way we bring this to life is through our annual event, Pizza with Pastors, where students connect with church leaders over lunch and connections can be nurtured in practical ways.

This year, 23 guests from many different churches joined us. Students had the chance to ask questions, share experiences, and build relationships beyond Sunday services. These interactions help students feel more connected to their faith community and encourage ongoing dialogue.

By investing in these relationships, we help students build resilience, faith, and a sense of belonging that lasts a lifetime. The cord of three strands is a model for how communities can come together to support young people in meaningful ways.
