We are excited to introduce a new branch at River Tech! Along with Performing Arts and Technology, we are beginning to build and emphasize a branch of Athletics/Physical Fitness. The overall goal of this branch is to impassion students to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. We want students to understand how to become masters over their bodies, and how to train for longevity of life.

​

It is important for us to be ready for the different things the world may throw at us and what God may expect of us, this means being prepared physically as well as spiritually. For this reason, physical activity is viewed as similar to fasting, in which we “afflict our souls” in order to bring our flesh into submission and draw closer to the Lord.

“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” – 1 Cor 6:19-20 ESV

​

We can certainly draw an amazing principle from this verse: our bodies belong to the Lord, and they should reflect the glory of God just as the Tabernacle and Temple did. Thus, we ought to maintain our bodies appropriately, which includes a level of physical fitness and mental toughness.

 

Join us as we fulfill a truly holistic approach to education, raising the next generation to be both creative and resilient, in the Lord.

Sincerely, 

Jerome Long
