What Are You Investing In?

We are only a few days away from going into our 4th year! I immediately have two thoughts: “Where did my summer go?” and “Yay, I’m so excited!” Yes, they kind of conflict. For me, we finished recitals in mid-June. Then, my family traveled for my husband’s ministry. That’s where the picture is from. Right after that, we jumped into summer session with 160 students! We had competition auditions, multiple teacher trainings, and tons of fall registrations. As I type this, I’m currently working on my solo competition numbers.

 It takes a lot to organize Soar and make sure all the pieces are fitting together. Let me be the first to say IT IS ALL WORTH IT! If your student is one of our 245 enrollments for the fall, let me say thank you! We work super hard to make sure your child gets a quality, Christian arts education.

 Here’s what you are investing in and what we thoroughly try to put into our students:

1. Developing their gifts - There is a way to use every gift they have to bring glory to God.

2. Confidence – I love watching shy students come out of their shells. We use every chance we can to speak life giving words over these young people.

3. You can’t take it away - A child’s toy will last a season. However, when they are taught something, it stays with them.

4. Additional opportunities for their future – A family recently shared that their teenager, who takes music lessons with us, was invited on their church’s praise team. Wow! That’s a win in my book!

I also have a request to make. Pray for us! God has always guided us at Soar. We continuously have new questions to answer. Do we expand? Do we stay just like we are? Do we add new programs or just focus on what we have?  Do we open another location? So, ask God to continue to give us wisdom.

Also pray for our entire staff. All of Soar’s staff balances their position with other things. Many of our instructors are finishing their college degrees. Many of us have families. I even homeschool our two children (I must be crazy!). Some of the staff are worship leaders or hold other jobs. Ask the Lord to refresh each of us on a daily basis!

We truly are looking forward to another year. If you ever need to speak to me, the best way to reach me is by email, ashley@soarcreativearts.com. Thank you for choosing us! Your investment will be well worth it! Classes begin Monday, August 12th!
