After receiving board approval, I’m excited to share details about MHCA’s newest discipleship program — The Armor Room. The goal of this program is to help develop our young men in a challenging but vital area: emotional and spiritual health. We’ll be pursuing this growth through intense Bible studies paired with submission grappling as a way to build discipline, confidence, and brotherhood.
Because of the physical nature of the program, we believe it’s important to involve parents directly in the process. To that end, I’ll be hosting a parent meeting on November 10, at 5:30 p.m. (immediately following basketball practice).
During this meeting, I’ll present the vision and structure of The Armor Room, answer any questions you may have, and provide the mandatory liability and medical waiver required for participation. While attendance at the meeting is not required for your son to participate, it is highly encouraged to ensure you have a full understanding of the program.
Parents are also welcome to attend any Armor Room sessions to observe firsthand what your sons are learning and experiencing.
Thank you for allowing us at MHCA to continue discipling your students as they grow into Christlike young men.
A couple of important announcements:
The Christian Clinic is in need of many items, and with the government shutdown those needs may be amplified. MHCA has committed to help fill a need. We are hosting a diaper drive!
