Tomorrow, we honor the life, legacy, and enduring impact of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A servant leader who courageously stood for justice, equality, and love for all.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
— Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Scripture reminds us of this same calling:

“He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”
Micah 6:8 NKJV

As we reflect on Dr. King’s legacy of service and faith in action, we encourage our students and families to take time tomorrow to serve, reflect, and lead with love.

📌 Reminder: Frederick Douglass Christian School will be closed tomorrow, Monday, January 19, 2026, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Together, we honor his dream by living it through faith, service, and unity!

At Frederick Douglass Christian School, our students are learning that with God, every mountain can be moved and every obstacle can be overcome. 🙌🏾

Rev. Whitfield is teaching our young disciples that faith means pressing forward, never looking back! They are keeping their eyes on Jesus, the One who gives strength for every climb.

💬 Scripture Focus:

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:14 KJV

And we remind them:

“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed… nothing will be impossible for you.”
Matthew 17:20 NIV

Each day in the classroom and beyond, our students are learning to trust God’s power to help them rise higher, step by step because with Him, there’s no going back! 💪🏾✨
