Unity in Christ Chapel SeriesValor student leaders have lined up exceptional speakers throughout February who will speak on the theme "Unity in Christ".
It is no secret these are trying times in the life of our world, and there are so many lines drawn that seek to divide rather than unify. Our speakers will be challenging each of us as to how we can walk together as the body of Christ and in the image of God. This week we will hear from Denise Watson-Schmidt, mother of Mr. Tige Watson, Valor's Director of Student Experience.
