Engineering is SO much fun in Stem Class!

Our students took on the Wind-Powered Car Design Challenge, using Lifesavers, straws, paper clips, index cards, tape, and paper to design and build their own cars! ✨

Creativity + teamwork + engineering = learning in motion! 🙌

Leading with Love- BCS Safety Patrol

These amazing 5th grade students have been chosen to serve our BCS community by helping with our before- and after-school car lines, welcoming students, lending a helping hand, and growing as young leaders.

Safety Patrol is about so much more than keeping things moving—it’s an opportunity for our students to serve others, show kindness, take responsibility, and lead by example. We are so proud of each of these students and the way they are learning to use their gifts to bless those around them.

We pray that this year will be one of meaningful opportunities to serve. May they always remember the words of Jesus:

“Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” — Matthew 20:26

Thank you, Safety Patrol, for serving our Panthers with joyful hearts! We can’t wait to watch you lead, love, and make a difference this year.

Way to go, 5th Grade! We’re proud of you!

☀️ Senior Sunrise 2026! 🧡💙

There’s something so special about watching the sun rise with our seniors and realizing just how quickly these years have gone by. Last week, our Senior Class gathered together for Senior Sunrise—a beautiful morning filled with laughter, fellowship, memories, and time to simply be together.

We love our seniors, and we are so incredibly proud of the young men and women they are becoming. We know God has incredible plans for each of their lives, and we are honored to walk alongside them during this important season.

As they begin their final year at Bradenton Christian School, our prayer is that they would continue to seek Christ, lead with courage, love others well, and shine His light wherever He calls them. ✝️

“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” — Proverbs 16:3

Seniors, this year is yours to make memories, embrace every moment, encourage one another, and leave a legacy that points others to Christ. We’re cheering you on every step of the way!

Senior year is here, Panthers! Let’s make it one to remember!

Defensively, the Panthers showed tremendous toughness and resilience. Defensive Coordinator Coach White challenged the team before halftime, telling the players, “You see that 22? They won’t get another point.”

The Panthers backed up that statement.

Bradenton Christian held First Academy scoreless throughout the entire second half, coming up with multiple critical goal-line and red-zone stops to preserve the lead and secure the victory.

There is plenty for the Panthers to build on, but the team showed exactly the kind of fight and determination that will be needed throughout the season.

Next up: Bradenton Christian returns home this Friday to take on Orlando Christian. The Panthers are excited to get back to work and continue applying the pressure.

🏈 GAMEDAY, PANTHERS! 🧡💙

Our Varsity Panthers are headed to First Academy today to kick off the season! We are so excited to see our team take the field and represent Bradenton Christian School!

A huge THANK YOU to Chick-fil-A UTC and Smoothie King for fueling our Panthers and helping them start their journey to the game strong!

But before the team takes the field, they take time to pray together—lifting one another up, asking God for strength, wisdom, safety, and the right hearts as they compete. 🙏

Today, we’re not just cheering for the scoreboard. We’re cheering for young men who are learning to lead, compete with character, encourage one another, and glorify God through everything they do.

Panthers, play hard. Play together. Play with purpose. And remember who you represent! 🧡💙

LET’S GO, PANTHERS! 🏈

A Night of Worship & Prayer

BCS families and friends, we invite you to join us for a special evening of worship and prayer as we come together as one community and seek the Lord for the year ahead.

📅 Sunday, August 16, 2026
⏰ 6:00 PM
📍 Wichers Auditorium

As we begin a new school year, what better way to start than in His presence? We’ll lift up our students, teachers, families, campus, and the year ahead, trusting God to move in powerful ways.

Come worship. Come pray. Come expectant. ❤️

Let’s gather together and ask God to do what only He can do!

We can’t wait to see our BCS family and friends there!

“Call to me and I will answer you…” — Jeremiah 33:3

First chapels of the year for our students!

Our school family heard reminders to think more highly of others, with kindness and respect, as we begin the new year. Our speakers also spoke about our theme for this year found in the Gospel of Matthew.

Thank you for praying for our students as they consider others more highly than themselves this year as we treasure the kingdom of God.
