HCC was established in the early 1990s as a result of a vision by the Senior Pastor, Pastor Maxine Hargreaves. One strategy of that vision was to establish a school that would excel in academics and at the same time provide children with the biblical training necessary to model the character of Jesus Christ. East London Christian Choir School (ELCCS) was founded and opened in August 2003 for this primary reason. Our desire is not only towards academic excellence, but also to facilitate growth in their relationship with Jesus Christ, to serve him, the community and our generation.

The Growth and Need for Christian Education |
|
The concept of biblical Christian education has been growing in the UK for many years. Many church leaders and parents are dissatisfied with what is happening to their children in secular schools.
Christian parents are particularly concerned about: • the influence of ungodly curriculum, unbelieving teachers and worldly peer pressure of their children, growing use of drugs, alcohol and other addictive substances, even in Primary schools;
• multi-faith teaching which appears to espouse and promote the practices of any faith except biblical Christianity and Judaism • rapidly increasing incidents of mental and physical violence;
• their godly influence being steadily, but surely, undermined • the occult - horoscope, mediums, fortune-telling
• plummeting spiritual, moral and academic standards. |

Academic Year:06-07 Term: 03 Chapel Subject: Eagles Standard III
Session 3. Understanding change in the process of the eagles maturity.
1. It is time for the young eagle to take his journey. 2. He has "not passed this way before," and is reluctant to start out. 3. The mother eagle begins making things uncomfortable for him in the nest. 4. The nest is so soft, so safe, so comfortable, and he is satisfied to remain there. None of this business of "trying out your wings" for him. 5. So the mother eagle "stirs up the nest." 6. She tears up his soft bed, breaks the twigs until the jagged ends stick out. 7. In other words, she begins to make life very miserable for him in the place that had once seemed so nice. 8. Still the young eagle does not leave the torn up nest. 9. So the mother eagle begins to "flutter over her young." 10. In other words, she begins beating him with her wings. the wings under which he once hid from all danger now have become his greatest enemy, it seems. What a terrible turn of events! 11. To escape those terrible wings, he climbs to the side of the nest, and as she spreads her wings abroad, he hops upon her back. 12. Where she goes now, he will go for the nest has ceased to be the safe, warm home it once was. 13. See the mother eagle as she soars high into the sky, with the little eagle hanging on for dear life. 14. High up above the clouds she goes, and suddenly, without warning, she dives out from under the little eagle, leaving him hanging on to nothing. He screams with fear as he tumbles through the air, but instinctively his wings stretch out and begin trying to catch the air. 15. Finally he learns how to catch the currents of air and soar by himself, needing no longer the mother to catch him from falling. |

- Source a clear concept of the process God uses to strengthen you, from those who have been previously used and are being used by God. Verse 8 - When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. - See God's outcome for you has scope and impact beyond your currrent perspective. Verse 9 - For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. - Recognise that God is taking you through a process for himself and for others you have never met. Verse 10 - He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. - Understand the pilgrmiage process, the walk that is the testimony of the higher life. Verse 11 - As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: |
