As a Board, we recognize that we have an important responsibility to be Christ–centered in our leadership. We must be servant leaders; we must also ensure that our leadership is built around partnerships with our constituents: families, staff, and community. We will continually emphasize these things to be effective in our service to the Lord and Timothy Christian School.
