The Power of Caring 

At Good News Lutheran College, we believe that caring is more than a value. It’s a way of life. It’s expressed in the way we greet one another, support our students, and walk alongside families through both joyful and challenging seasons. Caring is not just about kindness; it’s about presence. It’s about noticing when someone is struggling and choosing to act. It’s about creating a culture where every person feels seen, heard, and valued. 

In our classrooms, caring looks like a teacher who takes time to understand a student’s learning style. In our playgrounds, it’s the student who invites someone sitting alone to join in. In our staff rooms, it’s the quiet check-in, the shared prayer, the encouragement that lifts a colleague’s spirit. 

As a Christian community, we are reminded that caring is at the heart of our faith. The Apostle Paul writes: 

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2 (NIV) 

This verse calls us to be active participants in one another’s lives. Not just in celebration, but in compassion. It’s a beautiful reminder that when we care deeply, we reflect the love of Christ. Let us continue to build a college culture where caring is not just expected. it’s instinctive. May we be known not only for our academic excellence, but for the way we care for one another.
