Our primary goal at SVA is that students will know Jesus and will accept Him as their personal Savior.  We encourage and mentor our students to follow Jesus by engaging in spiritual disciplines such as worship, prayer, group Bible study, Christian fellowship, and stewardship.  We provide numerous opportunities for our students to share Jesus by participating in local community service projects (Project "M -Pact") and mission trips, and by leading out in school and church worship services.  SVA's TeamMates program pairs high school students with elementary students and provides unique mentoring opportunities and friendships.
