speak in class; they never interrupt the others speaking; they follow teachers instruction and remind
others to follow the instruction, such as being quiet in the hallway.

lunch. Through devotion and prayer sharing, students become more empathic and considerate - they
care about each other, pray for each other, and comfort and encourage each other.

Moral, Spiritual, and

Faith Development

Their faith comes out from their behaviors if someone need help in doing homework or using
technology, they would volunteer to go to help. If they made mistakes, their teacher would pray with
them and talk about what does God what them to do, and they would read Gods words.
Their faith also comes out from their actions. All students at Dutton Christian take turns doing the
recycling during the recess every day to learn how to take care of Gods creation. Throughout the
school semester, every class have at least 2 service learning opportunity to show Gods love and grace
to other people, such as singing hymns in nursery house.
